Prayer for the DioceseHeavenly Father, we lift up the Diocese of Athabasca to You for this coming week. We pray Your abundant blessings upon Bishop David Greenwood, along with all the clergy, lay workers, and parish members across northern Alberta, filling them with a unified purpose as they serve their local communities. We lay before You all those within our families and parishes who are currently suffering in body, mind, or spirit. For the ill, the lonely, and the hurting, we pray for Your comfort, strength, and divine healing. Breathe Your peace into their lives and sustain them through their trials. We also ask You to guide the leadership and congregations in their ongoing preparations for the upcoming Diocesan Synod in Peace River. Grant wisdom, clarity, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to all the delegates, committees, and organizers as they prepare to gather to discern the future mission of Your church. We pray for our global human family, especially those suffering from the devastating effects of earthquakes, wildfires, and other natural disasters. Be a refuge and strength to those who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. Sustain the emergency responders, firefighters, and rescue workers, and inspire communities everywhere to act with active compassion and generous support. All this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, our Rock and Redeemer. Amen.

Prayer for the Diocesan Camp 2026Heavenly Father,
We lift up the diocesan BUILD camp happening this coming weekend. We thank you for the reminder that our lives, families, and communities are Built Upon Incredible Love Daily—your love, which never fails.
Lord, we ask that you pour out your blessings upon every person, family, volunteer, and leader gathering together. May this weekend be a masterclass in your grace. Help us to dismantle the distractions of everyday life and reconstruct our hearts on the firm foundation of your truth.
As we fellowship, play, and pray together, remind us of the incredible love you offer us each day. Give the organizers and speakers your wisdom to guide us. Give the parents patience, the children joyful hearts, and everyone a spirit of unity.
Protect everyone during their travels. Keep the camp safe and filled with laughter. May the bonds formed this weekend strengthen our entire diocesan family, so that we return to our local parishes ready to BUILD up your Kingdom. We also pray for good weather and few mosquitoes at the camp.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
