Rainbow Christian Alliance - second Sunday each month at 6.00pm. Tuggeranong Uniting is part of the Uniting Church in Australia. The Uniting Church stands with the people of this land in their search for spiritual life, justice, identity and dignity.

“I often wonder about the backstory of the woman from John 8:2-11. … Whatever her story, the Pharisees bring her to Jesus expecting him to uphold the law’s punitive prescription. Jesus knows it’s a trap. If he concurs with the law, he initiates and must bear witness to an act of extreme brutality that would traumatize anyone who had to watch. If he counters the law, he’s a heretic and should probably be stoned himself. But he outsmarts them and turns their self-righteousness and rage back onto them.

In what should have been the end of her life’s story, this woman now finds herself standing. Whole. Alive. Freed to a new future.”

See the precious foreign strangers
as they carry all they own
To a land that’s full of dangers
for the powerless and prone
They are precious in the sight of
God who made their homeland, too
In their journey they’re held by love
as they start each day anew

—from the hymn “See the Precious Children” by Rev. Anna Strickland | A Sanctified Art LLC

Radically loving God, it would be easy for the call to protect and care for the vulnerable to exist as a hypothetical in my life, but that is not what I want. Instead, I want the call to care for the vulnerable to be bone-deep. I want to embody this call in my life. I want to roll up my sleeves and follow where you lead. So help me notice and act on ways to live out my faith in earnest. Amen.

“I still believe in humanity. When I watched people in Gaza prepare basic meals to break their fast during Ramadan during a genocide, I saw something good. When local neighbors saw our public vigil for disappeared people and chose to join us for a time of lament, I saw something good. When Colin Kaepernick paid for the independent autopsy of one of the Black men recently lynched, I saw something good. The good is people still choosing to be empathetic and compassionate in times of crisis. That is what Christ calls us to be.”

We have this unwritten agreement,
us members of humanity.
When the toddler at the coffee shop runs round the
corner,
when her mom, at the register, looks up in panic,
we, the adults in the room, will pledge,
with quick smiles and silent head nods, to keep watch.
…
We will do this,
because we cannot ignore the child right in front of us.
We will do this,
because love always includes the least of these.

“The reign of God belongs to children and everyone who, like children, is not granted polite society’s respect and acceptance.

The children, then, are a metaphor for all who lack societal status, who so-called decent folk find distasteful and undesirable. The migrant worker. The immigrant. The alien. The homeless. The powerless. The undocumented. Harking back to Deuteronomy 24:17-22, where God commands the people to care for the socially downtrodden because they themselves had been beaten down in Egypt, Jesus issues a clear, if not controversial, command for his followers. They are to live as an ekklesia, a “church.” And this church is to exist in this world as a refuge of radical welcome.”

—Rev. Dr. Brian Blount, from his commentary on Matthew 19:13-15 and Deuteronomy 24:17-22 | A Sanctified Art LLC

Protecting God, there are so many in my community that need protection and care. I worry for children that are hungry, for the elderly that need assistance, for those whose native tongue is not the primary language. I worry for those living paycheck to paycheck, and for those who just moved to town. Give me the eyes to see the need in my own community, and the energy to join the response. Amen.

“The disciples, feeling the weight of being seen as serious leaders alongside their rabbi, Jesus, may have tried to preserve a sense of reverence by shooing away the parents bringing their children to him. Yet here, Jesus reorients his disciples (and us) away from the illusion of control and reminds us that it is the joyful, unruly, sincere presence of a child to whom the kingdom truly belongs.”

We pass the bread basket, leaving crumbs all over the table. They are tiny reminders of communion in our midst. And at the end of the night, when we walk our guests to the car and carry sleeping children to their car seats, our neighbors say, What a holy moment it all was. Surely this must be what heaven feels like. Surely we can create it together.

Human minds just can’t imagine
all that God can bring to bear
Through our small and separate beings,
even when we join to share
Still we follow where Christ leads us,
many pieces of one whole
That we might allow our dreaming
to transform our broken world

—from the hymn “Human Minds Just Can’t Imagine” by Rev. Anna Strickland | A Sanctified Art LLC

God, we long to see ourselves as you do because we know that like that day in the Galilee, there is still work to do.
Like that day on the hillside, this world is full of people who are hungry. We are hungry for justice, hungry for companionship, hungry for reasons to hope.
Like that day on the hillside, this world is full of people who need healing. We need healing for our bodies, healing for our minds, healing for broken relationships.
And like that day on the hillside, there is surely enough to go around, but we doubt and deny that truth.

So call us again, loving God.
Say our names.
Hand us the baskets of bread and fish.
Tell us it’s our turn.
Help us see ourselves the way you see us, for we know that together the impossible is possible.

—prayer by Rev. Sarah A. Speed | A Sanctified Art LLC
