Loving God, who created us all in your divine image:We thank you for the beautiful diversity of the human family. We pray for our LGBTQ+ siblings—bless them with the knowledge that they are wonderfully made and endlessly loved. Grant us the grace to welcome one another as Christ welcomes us, and fill our hearts with courage to spread joy, equity, and peace in our communities. In your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.

Today we marvel at the God who spoke light and life into existence, who formed us in the divine image and crowned us with glory and honor. The whole of creation bears witness to the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, whose love and grace are woven into every corner of the cosmos. Jesus sends us out into that same creation with a great commission: to make disciples, to baptize, to teach, and to trust that he is with us always, to the end of the age.

God the King of Glory, in whose hands are the living and the dead: We give you our thanks for all those who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant them your mercy and the light of your presence; give us a sense of your will and purpose, that we may understand that the work you have begun in them will be perfected through Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, in whom all strife is resolved. Amen.
