Loving God, we pray this morning for all in the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles suffering from the wind emergency, including 25 staff and family members without power at Camp Stevens, those at St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church – Malibu at risk from the Franklin Fire, and all our neighbors throughout the region. We pray as well for firefighters and those who work to restore power as an even colder night impends. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
