May Your example motivate us to wash one another's feet, serving our community in ways that reflect Your love and compassion.
Bless our efforts to care for the least among us, to support those in need, and to create an environment where every person is valued and respected. Let our actions speak of Your love, fostering a community where peace and prosperity flourish.
Guide our leaders and all residents of Shelby County with Your wisdom and strength. Grant us the courage to make decisions that honor You and promote the common good. In every challenge we face, remind us that we are called to serve as You have served us, with selflessness and grace.
