One of the “perks” of being a pastor is getting to pray at civic functions. Yesterday I was asked to be a part of the swearing in of our new town council.
Being a part meant leading “O Canada” and then praying for direction for the new council. I have met each of the councilors over this last while and I do pray that they will serve our community well.
Here is the prayer I prayed:
I pray a blessing upon this new town council of Kindersley. May their decisions be formed through unity and a desire for the good of this community. May you give to them health and strength that their minds and souls may have clarity and a concise sense of direction needed. May the concerns that touch upon the life of this community touch the heart of each councilor, and may you give to them wisdom as they approach both the work of this evening and throughout their term of office. These things I pray in the name of God, our heavenly Father. AMEN.
Here is a picture of the mayor and those councilors who were able to be present.
