Welcome to Saturday and our day of Sending Celebration.
Opening Prayer:
Creator of All, unite us.
Stream of Justice, trouble us.
Path of Righteousness, turn us.
Singer of Love, teach us.
Binder of Wounds, heal us.
Freer of Captives, release us.
Light of Light, awaken us.
-prayer by Sybil MacBeth
Some words and love from Jim & Vonda about the week
"There is a place" we say where
Green woods shape our vision, and
free us to structure creative works
that flow from our hearts and hands
liberated from convention and expectations
so we can see the visions within us
that did not yet have shape and life
and we can bring them into being.
-from Bob Anderson’s "Ponderosa Shapes”
creative offerings from the community
O Great Love, thank you for living and loving in us and through us. May all that we do flow from our deep connection with you and all beings. Help us become a community that vulnerably shares each other’s burdens and the weight of glory. Listen to our hearts’ longings for the healing of our world. [your silent offering] We offer these prayers in all the holy names of God. Amen. -from the Center of Action & Contemplation
