Prayers for Pr. Mark, Vanessa & Max Strobel on the eve of the Bishop's election


The prayers of St. Stephen’s are requested for Pr. Mark Strobel, St. Stephen’s own Vanessa Strobel and their son, Max, as the Eastern Synod of the ELCA meets on Saturday in Grand Forks to elect a new Bishop of the Eastern Synod. Pr. Mark is a nominee for Bishop.  

O God of unchangeable power and eternal light: Look favorably on your whole Church, that wonderful and sacred mystery; by the effectual working of your providence, carry  out in tranquillity the plan of salvation; let the whole world see and know that things which were cast down are being raised up, and things which had grown old are being made new, and that all things are being brought to their perfection  by him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
