As we approach election day, we invite you to download this prayer resource to be an aid in your time of prayer. It includes prayers selected from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, intermixed with hymns and scripture.

This prayer vigil is a non-partisan way of coming together through prayer to light a candle, say a prayer for the life and safety of our nation, and our nation’s leadership. It is also a time to remember the work we have to do as a country with regards to racism, and restoring civility and respect among all people.

As we pray, may we be so brave as to listen for God’s voice leading us to the work we have in repenting for our sins, making efforts not to repeat them, living in a new way. Prayers are designed to be offered by individuals or families at home; or while praying in the church or other sacred place. May God be with you.
