To read Rev. Elizabeth Bloch's sermon, please click here. The following Prayers of the People were written and read by Margaret McGee.
O Holy One, source of mercy, might, and love,
Make us your people, so that in life and death we belong to you alone.
O Holy One, our strength and our salvation,
Guide this nation. Crown its leaders and citizens in mercy and loving-kindness.
O Holy One, doing wonders through all the world,
Light up the night, stretch out your hand, and open the way to justice and peace.
O Holy One, who satisfies with good things,
Bless this community. Grant us grace to welcome every stranger as you have welcomed us.
O Holy One, slow to anger and full of great kindness,
Teach us how to forgive each other from our hearts.
O Holy One, who turns hard rock into pools of water,
Heal our infirmities, comfort the suffering, and watch over those in any kind of trouble.
O Holy One, who redeems our lives from the grave,
Hold those who have died in your love.
We pray for the special needs and concerns of this congregation ...
Holy, Holy, Holy, source of mercy, might, and love,
We are your people, and you are our God. Amen.
