back to parish life

Holy and loving God, we thank you for the opportunity for St. James and St. John's to work together on this medical mission trip to Panama. Bless all those who traveled from our parishes--Alison, Diane, Doug, Janice, Jeanne, Jerrill, John, Michael, and Renda. And, bless the work they did, the prayers they offered, and the people they met. We thank you for bringing them safely back home with stories to share with our communities. We thank you for the wonderful diversity of races and cultures in the world. Enrich our lives by ever-widening circles of friendship, show us your presence in those who differ from us, and inspire our concern and compassion for all the people of the world, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
