Word and hearing more of the precious work that You
have given us to do. We pray Your blessing upon our
beloved Synod, upon our Districts, our colleges, our
schools, our congregations, and upon every person of
this church, upon every man, woman, and child
throughout the world. We pray that You will give us a

precious and marvelous hope of eternal life in the world
to come. Bless us and be with us now, for Your name’g

sake. Amen.
