A PRAYER FOR ST. CYPRIAN'S
WRITTEN BY THE REV. LIZ TESTER
Most merciful God, we remember those who have gathered in your name throughout the ages. We give special thanks for those places of worship that are no longer present in this world, but were a part of your vision and mission in the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina. Help us to remember sacred places like St. Cyprian’s in Lincolnton, that nurtured the spiritual lives of its members, especially our black brothers and sisters. While St. Cyprian’s the church no longer stands, those who continue to remember its history in Lincoln County and in the Diocese of Western North Carolina, affirm its sure foundation as a place of God’s sacred presence.
