PRAYER FOR BASEMENT RESTORATION

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.-Psalm 126 (127)

We give thanks unto Thee, O God, for all the good Thou hast done for Thy servants at this holy mission. Continue Thy mercy toward Thine unworthy servants, and guide us in the reconstruction of this fellowship hall, that we may be faithful stewards of the generous benefactions entrusted to us, and that these gifts may be multiplied in this village and throughout Thy world.

Grant us wisdom and discernment as we restore functionality to this blessed space. Guide the minds and hands of all who labor here; grant them peace and protection, that their work may be accomplished unto Thy glory. Make this hall a blessing for generations to come a place of nourishment, connection, and refuge, sheltering all Thy people from the storms of this world.

For unto Thee is due all glory, honor, and worship, to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
