God of new beginnings, we thank you for answering our prayers by calling The Rev. Celeste Geldreich to walk with us as we continue our journey of faith and service to others. Help us to welcome Mother Celeste and her family to our family; guide us on new journeys; help us see new opportunities for service. It has sometimes felt like a long journey; we asked you for leadership and you provided it; we asked you for patience and you supplied it. Help us continue to be the faithful people you chose to welcome Mother Celeste as she comes to share the Gospel and ministry with us.      

                                               Mother Celese will be joining us on October 1st.
