πŸ™πŸΎ God of gentleness and peace, we often see peace as the absence of turmoil, the absence of conflict, the absence of all the ways humans desecrate one another and the planet. Help us to know your peace all of the time, no matter what the circumstance of our lives and the life of our world. Inspire us to bring peace to every encounter, every opportunity.

πŸ™πŸΎ Gracious God,

You've asked us to treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves. You've asked us to love our neighbor. You've asked us to forgive as You have forgiven us.

But God, this is so difficult!

We are witnessing injustice and cruelty and bigotry every where we look, every where we go. We want to look away, we want to protect our hearts from breaking.

God, help us to not look away, but instead to focus on You and pass all our worries and fears through Your heavenly lens. Let us be Your vision, Your eyes as well as Your hands, feet and voice. Give us clarity. Give us courage. Amen

At a time when the Southern Baptist Convention has voted to formally ban women pastors, sending a message that only men should lead, we are reminded how far we still have to go for justice and equity in the church.

The United Church of Christ has a long history of advocating for women’s ordination and leadership, but our work is not done. Justice for women is not just a church issueβ€”it’s a matter of faith and public witness.

As Rev. Dr. Karen Georgia A. Thompson writes, β€œThe church must continue to be bold and courageous, finding and addressing the prophetic witness.”

Join us for our Pride Bible Study tonight at 6 PM at St. Philip's UCC!

The article we will base the two-week discussion on is in the QR code in the image. We will also be looking at a few passages throughout the Old and New Testaments. Bring your questions and comments and be ready for a wonderful discussion. I hear there will be snacks, too!

πŸ™πŸΎ Divine Source,

You are the God of rivers, oceans, and lakes. Of tall, outstretched branches and roots buried deep. The God of feathers, fins, and fur. The One who shines in the morning sun, twinkles in the stars, and still reflects through the darkness of the moon. The God of seeds, buds, and bursting flowers. Creator of All.

We ask for your forgiveness for the ways we've hurt your creation: Our Earth, our home, our sibling. We call upon your healing power for restoration and reconciliation, for your healing love to break forth and bloom so that we may begin to live in community again.

πŸ™πŸΎ God, You are everywhere I walk, in everything I see, and in everything I hear.

When experiencing hatred, You wrap me in Love.
When feeling sadness, You are quick to Embrace.
When hearing conflict, You are a silencing Peace. When feeling anxious, You are a breath of fresh Air.
When feeling overwhelmed, You are my Comfort and Strength.

Thank You for always being with me. Help me to shift my attention from the world to You, from chaos to peace, from hatred to love, from me to You.

I love you.

-Karl Heilman, Kimball, MI
