Leamington Ministerial Association invites all the Christians to pray for each other. This week we pray for :
St. Paul's Lutheran Church
The Serenity Prayer O God, grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time. Accepting hardships as the pathways to peace. Taking, as he did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that he will make all the things right if I surrender to his will ;that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with him forever.
