Memory Verse; The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 NIV
Jeremiah 2:-3:5 Psalms 5
There is a place called 'heaven' where the good here unfinished is completed; and where the stories unwritten, and the hopes unfulfilled, are continued. J.R.R. Tolkien (Letter to his son Michael, June 9, 1941)
O God,
Help us please to understand and to act,
The world has had so many tragedies in recent months.
We struggle to see good some days.
The news is inescapable, at times;
coming even into our pockets and purses.
The bad news is broadcast in restaurants and on screens,
in every public space it seems.
We look for peace and rest.
We struggle and try to see good in our society.
It feels some days like everything is gone we once counted on.
Please God, give us strength and resolve,
To remember that every small act of kindness matters.
Help us to rely on you and your word,
And not on the media and leaders who are weak.
Please guide us and strengthen us to do your will.
We pray Lord you will forgive us for our pettiness,
And help us to remember and follow your Son, our Savior,
Who died on the cross. Amen (Prayer by Beth Maxwell Boyle.)
