We stand
Against injustice
And hope for a better world
Where everyone is housed
And fed
A world of abundance
Bless us on that journey
Song “Come people of the Risen King”
You entrusted the earth to us
And we have destroyed it
The forests are burning
Animals are dying
Our world is sick
Forgive us
Restore our vision and help us to act bravely to save your precious world
We say the Lords Prayer in our own language
Psalm 58
The wicked crawl from the wrong side of the cradle;
their first words out of the womb are lies.
Poison, lethal rattlesnake poison,
drips from their forked tongues—
Deaf to threats, deaf to charm,
decades of wax built up in their ears.
We pray for Israelis and Palestinians, for Ukrainians and Russians, For Syria, for Ethiopia, for Kosova and Serbia and all places where there is war. We pray for peace makers and humanitarian corridors, for the children and the terrified and for people of good will to work together to change the world. …Spirit of the Living God present with us now enter our bodies, minds and spirits and heal us of all that harms us. Let your angels be beside us at this time. Amen
Song “I shall not want”
Bless to us
The sun and moon that are above us
The earth that is beneath us
Friends and family around us
Your image within us
And the day/night that is before us. Amen.
