Friends this is the second post the benediction shared with my internship congregation Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Rockville its titled Go Forth

Go
From this place renewed
Surrounded by the love
Of that which is all

Go
Carry forth the message
Of Freedom and liberation
That you are enough

Go
Beyond these four walls
And the limits placed on our minds
And our being

Go Forth
into a world in need of repair
In need of people just like you

Go Forth
Into a world waiting on all the answers
In need of people just like us

Go forth
And teach that the impossible is possible
That we can dream
That we can heal the world

Go Forth and Bless the world.

Hey Friends Last week I wrote a call to worship and benediction for my internship congregation Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Rockville. They are written in a responsive format. This first post is the call to worship Come, Yet again Come.

Come
As a seeker
A survivor
An immigrant
A friend

Come into this house of worship
Away from the Politics of White Body Supremacy
Away from Empire
Away from those that choose to harm you

Come
When you need to be healed
When you need to be held
When you need to be heard

Come into this house of worship
When the world is too much
When your heart thinks it can take no more
When you are on the verge of breaking through

Come as you are
Broken or whole
Fed or hungry
Young or old

Come into this house of worship
Because you belong here
Because you are enough
Because you are worthy of love

Come Yet again Come…

From a statement, I shared tonight at the installation of our DRUUMM Board. The image is of a hand carrying a torch in the middle of the night. With text that reads: May, we be the ones who carry this torch, and may we ignite the lights in one another’s hearts until liberation is achieved for everyone.
