St. John's 90th Anniversary
In January of 1922 a small group gathered together in Kirkland to talk about an Episcopal mission. On January 1, 1923 another small group sent a letter to the Bishop asking for the permission to begin a mission. A consent was given on February 1, 1923, and the very first vestry met on February 2. The rest, as they say, is history. St. John’s 90th anniversary is only months away. What we need now is a 90th Anniversary committee that can mobilize the various ministries of St. John’s so they have time to help plan and implement their portion of the celebration. In researching church anniversaries, it is common to go beyond a simple one time event, but rather celebrate the entire year. If you would like to be involved contact the office at St. John’s Kirkland.
Prayer of Jabez
1 Chronicles 4:10 (NKJV)
10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.
Jabez Prayer for St. John's Kirkland
Lord, we ask you to bless St. John's abundantly. Bless the adult/youth faith formation especially. Bless all ministries in this place with abundance. Bless everyone in the parish mightily.
We ask you to enlarge our territory greatly. Open up opportunities to serve all adult and youth members of this parish. Grow our ministry in the Kirkland community far greater than we could ever do by ourselves; Lord send us the people.
We ask, O Lord that Your hand would be with all of us; guide our every action; provide us with your touch of greatness, that our works in this place will show forth your majesty and power in this community.
Lord, we ask for humility, trusting in your guiding hand at every turn; we are entirely dependent upon you, upon your strength and your abundance in order to do your will and your work for this place. Without you we can do nothing.
Lord, keep us far away from temptation and evil; temptation that pulls at our pride; and the temptation to quit when it all seems overwhelming. Help us remain entirely dependent upon you so that we won’t cause harm by making a mess of things. Enlarge our trust in You and You only as we seek to grow spiritually and increase our ministry in St. John’s and Kirkland as you direct.
You are the true source of life and we ask that you direct our steps away from all that is not of you. We believe that you will grant our requests and we trust in your desire to bless us with your love and mercy. Amen.
