As wildfires impact lands and peoples across the country, we ask you to join us in prayer:

• For safety and protection for people, animals, and communities in harm’s way
• For strength and resilience among evacuees, fire fighters, and other first responders
• For those affected by the smoke of the wildfires which is impacting the air quality across broad distances
• For acknowledgement and action on the ongoing impact of climate change caused by human activity, and renewed attention toward an energy transition
• For healing and renewal for the land and all of creation

Let us pray—

Creator,
Wildfires are engulfing homes,
leaving us vulnerable, exposed, open:
We come to you, broken, seeking wholeness…
In our time of need provide for us those things that will bring restoration to all of creation,
the gifts of the spirit
and the gift of each other.
Above all, remind us always of your steadfast and abiding love.
Amen

As we continue through these summer weeks, join us for worship, either online at 9 or in person at 10, as we explore what it means to live with open hands, to notice the quiet signs of hope all around us, and to trust that even the smallest seeds can become something beautiful.

Weather permitting, our 10 a.m. service will be held outdoors on the church grounds, surrounded by the beauty of creation, a fitting setting for a message about seeds, growth, and God's extravagant love. Following worship, everyone is invited to stay for a BBQ and some outdoor games, and enjoy good food, good conversation, and the gift of being together.

Whether you're joining us online or in person, we'd love to welcome you.
