*Call to Worship (Psalm 27:1,14)... Rebecca Glancy
Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, They shall be like a tree planted by the water. Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, The tree shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay green.
*Hymn... “Rejoice in God’s Saints” (UMH #708)
Prayer for Today... Rebecca Glancy
Lord, make me a channel of disturbance. Where there is apathy, let me provoke; where there is compliance, let me bring questioning; where there is silence, may I be a voice. Where there is too much comfort and too little action, grant disruption; where there are doors closed and hearts locked, grant the willingness to listen. When laws dictate and pain is overlooked . . . when tradition speaks louder than need . . . grant that I may seek to do justice rather than to talk about it. Disturb us, O Lord. To be with, as well as for, the alienated. To love the unlovable as well as the lovely. Lord, make me a channel of disturbance. (Author unknown)
