In answer to our Lord’s commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:29b, RSV) We are a community-based church serving our neighbors of Troy Hill, Spring Garden, and Spring Hill. In the spirit of Luther, who reminds us, “We are to fear and love God, so that we neither endanger nor harm the lives of our neighbors, but instead help and support them in all of life’s needs.”
A prayer to St. Michael
Everlasting God, you have wonderfully established the ministries of angels and mortals. Mercifully grant that as Michael and the angels contend against the cosmic forces of evil, so by your direction they may help and defend us here on earth, through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God whom we worship and praise with angels and archangels and all the company of heaven, now and forever.
Amen.
