Boldly Forward in Faith

O God, almighty Father, from whom all good things come, we give you glory. Lord Jesus, we thank you for the gift of Good Shepherd Church and School. Holy Spirit, Lord and Giver of Life, we ask you to fire our hearts with your love and make us good and generous stewards of your life within us.


Help us, we pray, to recognize and appreciate the vision, dedication, and sacrifice of those who have come before us to establish and maintain this holy place. We are the living stones that add purpose and value through the dedication and love we bring and the ministry we share. As we work to improve our facilities, please keep us on the right path, never letting us go astray. And if we wander, dear Father, please bring us back. Help us embrace our ongoing responsibility as stewards of this parish and school to ensure Good Shepherd remains vibrant and well equipped to serve future generations for your glory. Give us generous hearts, confident that the measure with which we measure will be measured out to us. We trust in your guidance and direction, for we know that unless you build the house, our labor is in vain. May we, as a community of faith, continue to grow and work together, making your kingdom come and will be done in this world as in the next. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our Good Shepherd, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
