🎆This Fourth of July our congregation and friends shared a special experience thanks to one of our amazing members - Eirik Harteis. Forty of us gathered and enjoyed a celebratory reading of the Declaration of Independence by different community members.
🎇 Next we all signed a copy of this special document to acknowledge that even though times have changed we still believe every American has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
🇺🇸This shared expression of love for our country now hangs in our Fellowship Hall. Thank you to everyone who joined us and may we all continue praying for our country and fellow citizens.

🙏🏾 O God...

Our hearts break for the lives lost, the lives limited by fear, the lives overcome by grief. For the communities in conflict, the neighbors who can't find common ground, the families embroiled.

Holy One, infuse your peace into all these broken and hurting spaces.

Blow your Spirit of possibility and healing throughout your Creation.

Bless us, your people, that our hands and feet and hearts and minds and voices might be instruments of your Peace. Amen.
