Maya Angelou once said that eventually every storm runs out of rain, and we will weather this together as the parish family of St. Andrew's. Let us keep each other in mind and in heart with a prayer shared by Bishop Haynes. It is adapted from the New Zealand Prayer Book.

God of the present moment,
God who in Jesus stills the storm
and soothes the frantic heart;
bring hope and courage to all
who wait or work in uncertainty.
Bring hope that you will make them the equal
of whatever lies ahead.
Bring them courage to endure what cannot be avoided,
for your will is health and wholeness;
you are God, and we need you.
