Prayer Request: Wildfires Across Canada

The United Church of Canada is deeply concerned for all those affected by the wildfires sweeping across parts of northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia.  In Manitoba, the fires have led to evacuations of thousands of people in multiple communities, including several First Nations such as Pimicikamak (Cross Lake), Nisichawayasihk (Nelson House), Oxford House and the towns of Lynn Lake and Flin Flon. The Nopiming Provincial Park Fire continues to impact those on the eastern side of the province.

We ask you to join in prayer:
– for safety and protection for people, animals, and communities in harm’s way
– for strength and resilience among evacuees and first responders
– for healing and renewal for the land and all of creation

Let us pray – 

Creator, 
Wildfires have intruded on our lives, leaving us vulnerable, exposed, open:
We come to you, broken, seeking wholeness…
In our time of need provide for us those things
that will bring restoration to all of creation,
the gifts of the spirit and the gift of each other.
Above all, remind us always of your steadfast and abiding love.
Amen.
