Finally, Pastor Lauren and Pastor Rich and I wanted to make sure you got a copy of the wonderful prayer that Rita shared during Sunday morning's worship service. You can also find it on the website under the "Watch Sermons Now!" section.
Sunday Prayer
In the time before us,
In the time within us,
In the time among us,
we hold our lives
in new ways
with our God
ever-present
ever-longing
to lean with us
into unavoidable unknowns.
God, you are still speaking
as we question everything.
You are minding us
in the tedium,
embracing us
in the weariness and waiting,
shadowing the shadows
of our doubt and judgment
with your tender acceptance.
In this time of distance
shepherd us from illusions
of being apart from one another.
In this great pause
let the song of your morning bird
do what it wants to do
for our souls.
Moisten our hearts to extend and receive compassion.
Freshen our resolve to stand with the stranger.
Nudge us from apathy and indifference.
Steady us in our deepest fears.
Ready us to love in the moment.
As you are, so we must be.
We belong to you, you belong to us
now and forever.
Amen.
See you in the study tonight and in worship, and everywhere we meet this week.
