Whatever we face, we do not face it alone
Dear Friends,
Life can oftentimes present us with challenges beyond our control or even our understanding. But as believers in Christ, we believe that whatever we face, we do not face alone because God is with us (Emmanuel). It’s in this place of consolation in which we can rest and reach out to God in prayer.
Over the last few days, we have been witnesses to the horrific beginnings of a war in Israel and the unfortunate loss of life.
Bishop Anne Jolly has provided prayerful resources for us to embrace as we seek to process all that is happening around the world. I am asking that you join in this prayerful effort.
“The Rt. Rev. Deon Johnson, who was ordained in the Diocese of Ohio and is now the 11th Bishop of Missouri, wrote this prayer that articulates the deep angst of our hearts and souls. Together, we pray, we wail, and we hold to each other in the unity of God as we long for an end to violence that can only come through God’s peace and love.”
Healer of the Nations,
from the noise of war
and the drumbeat of vengeance,
give us undiminished determination
to wage peace.
Out of brokenness, violence, and destruction
let us plant seeds of hope.
Out of chaos, confusion, and hatred,
build bridges of love.
Out of distrust, disunity, and distance,
walk together in harmony.
Heal our divisions and make us whole. Amen.
We must continue to show up for each other, especially in the midst of heartache and pain. Let us be extra gentle during these times and hold each other in love and prayer.
In His Service,
Rev. Dr. Robin Woodberry

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER
(to be said with those who are joining us online)
(to be said with those who are joining us online)
Dearest Lord Jesus, we believe that you are truly present in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. We love you above all things and long for you in our souls. Since we are not altogether in our church today to receive the bread and wine made holy, we ask you to come spiritually into our hearts. Fill us with your light and nourish us all with your word and Spirit. Amen.

Therefore, to avoid being on camera, please ask our greeter to seat you below the balcony or to the side. The greeter will ask the priest to bring communion to you.
