Passing the peace
Contemplative prayer Still I Rise, Maya Angelou
Call to worship:
We look in the mirror and what do we see?
We see people who try to be faithful,
even as questions and struggles challenge our faith.
We look in the mirror and how do we see?
We see with hearts which are open to God's love,
with lives which seek to trust when all the evidence
tells us not to be so foolish.
We look in the mirror and who do we see?
We see Jesus, the One who struggles with
the questions we raise, who models faithfulness
for all who would follow.
Sing: Jesus loves me, #191, verses 1, 2, & 3
Unity prayer:
In this time of pandemic and calls for racial justice we pray that we might be like God our Divine Parent, Father and Mother, loving beyond our comprehension. Through this love you birthed the universe, the vastness of galaxies and the preciousness of the tiniest of creatures. Father God, teach us to embrace our siblings with the love that only you know. Mother God, give us your patience to never give up on one another or the causes of justice in our world.
