tions and ministries, and as we together share Christ’s saving Word and Sacraments, build us up in unity of confession,
worship, and works of love; through Christ, our Lord.

•

Our LCMS associate churches, [names and countries]. Empower your Word in its truth and purity, and remove all obstacles to fellowship so that, one day, recognizing unity in the
Gospel in all its articles, we might with great joy celebrate
fellowship at pulpit and altar; through Christ, our Lord.
The churches, [names and countries], with whom we work
toward faithful ecumenism. Bring the light of Your pure Word
where articles of doctrine divide us, prevent error from taking root, and grant patience for faithful witness; through
Christ, our Lord.

Numbers correspond to weeks in the year, with two church
bodies remembered each week in prayer. Prayers may start at the
beginning of the calendar year or Church Year, or at any time. The
important thing is to pray for God’s promised blessings in Christ.
