Heavenly Father,

We praise you for you are the source of life.

We thank you for our church, Epiphany of the Lord, 

and the many blessings you have given us 

over the past 50 years. 

Open our hearts and minds to you and help us

to be good stewards of the gifts you have given us. 

Help us to be like Mary, always faithful to you.

We especially pray for the success of Project 50•50, 

and that we may step forward together in faith 

and recommit ourselves to your mission of love. 

May our effort, combined with your grace, 

allow us to continue bringing people to Christ 

for generations to come. 

AMEN.
