Northwest Intermountain Synod

Those of us in the Mountain West have known since winter that we would face a long and hard and perhaps devastating fire season. This weekend we pray for all of those evacuating due to fires (including the Upriver Fire in Spokane Valley), all those fighting the fires, all those providing emergency aid, and all who stand watch.
Prayer in Times of Wildfire
Holy God, in you alone we find safety and shelter. Be a sure refuge to all suffering from wildfires. Grant courage, protection, and favorable weather to firefighters and emergency responders; embrace with supportive communities all who are newly displaced or homeless; comfort those grieving all that has been destroyed and give patience to those who are anxious, not knowing when relief will come. Heal your whole creation, that out
of flame and ashes new growth will spring forth. We pray through Jesus Christ, our life and our strength. Amen. (All Creation Sings, page 50) (More in the chat). - Bishop Manlove
