A Prayer for Our Country
O God, who arrange all things
according to a wonderful design,
graciously receive the prayers
we pour out to you for our country,
that, through the wisdom of its leaders
and the integrity of its citizens,
harmony and justice may be assured
and lasting prosperity come with peace.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Dear St. Mary’s,
I’m informing you that today, January 14th, I tested positive for COVID-19. I began experiencing mild symptoms yesterday (Wednesday) and in everyone’s best interest, had an additional antigen test done this morning.

From the handful of families in 1849 that built our beloved church, to the many families that sit in our pews in 2020, we have together supported the growth and prosperity of St. Mary’s Swormville for over 171 years!
