<DIV>Let us pray:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>God of the vineyard, <BR>you always stand ready to prune the branches in
each of us <BR>that have withered and are useless.<BR>You clip, trim, snip and
cut back<BR>till we have more healthy growth.<BR>May we bloom and
blossom,<BR>precious to our true vine,<BR>Jesus Christ our Lord, <BR>who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, <BR>one God for ever and ever.
Amen</DIV>
