We thank Lay Reader Andy Traeger for leading us in worship this day.

Let us pray for a calm mind.

Almighty God, we thank you that you love and care for all your people. When storm-clouds loom and troubles threaten, bring peace and calm to us, because we know that everything is in your hands. We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
