Prayer List
I dream
Of a loving world
Where we see each other
With God's eyes:
I dream of a resourceful world
Where we cherish the unique gift
Of each other;
I dream
Of a hopeful world
Where we recognize the power
of God's grace
To transform and make new;
I dream of peace.*

Prayers for all of us as we continue our journey through Advent longing for each other's company, for safety... grieving lives lost, disrupted. May we find new ways to show kindness and compassion to each other, to experience joy... hold on to hope.
As Covid infection rates continue to rise in our state, nationally and across the world, we pray for healthcare workers who are stretched beyond capacity. Let us do our part in keeping everybody safe by wearing masks and staying at home.
