Prayer

We thank you, Lord God, for Bishop Chilstrom, who planted your message in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We praise you for the gift of your Holy Spirit, who worked in him to gather and give order to this community, and who still sustains it. Remembering all those who have gone before us, we pray that we may follow as he followed, in the way, the truth, and the life, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
