Heavenly Father, Shepherd of your people, we thank you for the ministry of your servant Thomas Logan Sr. who was faithful in the care and nurture of your flock; and we pray, Oh God, that you will be in our minds, in our hearts, and in our prayers, speaking with decency and order. Following the example of Thomas, free us from hatred through forgiveness with love and care for all people; may we by your grace grow into the stature of the fullness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
