The diocesan newsletter has requested prayers for Bishop Lawrence for the House of Bishops meeting, which commences Friday.
Excerpts from Leviticus 26
Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the LORD your God.
Observe my Sabbaths and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the LORD.
If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands . . . . I will put my dwelling place among you, and I will not abhor you. I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people.
Dear Heavenly Father,
May the fame of Bishop Mark Lawrence and the Diocese of South Carolina be the presence of God. Amen.
