Almighty God, you rule all the peoples of the earth. Inspire the minds of
all women and men to whom you have committed the responsibility of
government and leadership in the nations of the world. Give to them the
vision of truth and justice, that by their counsel all nations and peoples
may work together. Give to the people of our country zeal for justice and
strength of forbearance, that we may use our liberty in accordance with
your gracious will. Forgive our shortcomings as a nation; purify our
hearts to see and love the truth. We pray all these things through Jesus
Christ. Amen.

PEANUT BUTTER FROM HEAVEN!
Peanut
Butter Drive — July 1-31, 2008
Peanut
butter is so important for the 109,000 underprivileged people who are
served each month by the food bank. A great source of protein, it is
always a top-needed staple, especially when families cannot afford meat
due to high gas and grocery prices.
Bring jars of peanut butter to church this month! Our goal is 200 jars!
