Worshiping Together: From Everywhere to Everywhere

WORSHIPING TOGETHER:

From Everywhere to Everywhere INTRODUCTION Worship is one dimension of mission. Worship, liturgy, and prayer are part of the spiritual discipline that calls us to actively participate in God’s mission. This collection of worship resources, offered as gifts from missionaries and others serving with the General Board of Global Ministries can be used in corporate and personal worship. In addition to using this resource in worship, consider using these materials in your personal devotion and Bible study life. Use them in church meetings, Sunday school classes, agelevel ministries, or small group studies. As you worship using these resources from different regions, also remember the people in these communities. Lift them in your prayers every day! All of the resources are organized by their potential use in worship; however you are encouraged to use them in ways that best fit your worship design or personal devotion and prayer. Some of them were written for specific situations, adapt these for your worship context. Sorrows, concerns, and joys come to us all, no matter where we serve. You are encouraged to read each of the missionary biographies on the Global Ministries website as you prepare for worship: www.umcmission.org/missionary. You will find a picture, description of the missionary’s ministry, as well as an email to be in conversation with him or her if you want to know more. Consider adapting this information to share with your congregation (possibly a notice in your bulletin or verbally in worship.)

OPENING PRAYER, INVOCATION, CALL TO WORSHIP 1. Opening Prayer

God of all people, we come together to be a community, a community of faith striving to grow closer to you and closer to each other. Be with us as we seek to hear from you, where you are at work, and what you require of us. You created us all to be agents of your love, justice, and mercy. Help and empower us in these tasks. Amen. Stephanie Kimec Ministry: US-2, Immigration Task Force, California-Pacific Annual Conference and Shalom Ministry at Echo Park United Methodist Church, USA Advance #3021353

2. Opening Prayer

O God, Searcher of all our hearts, you have formed us as a people and claimed us for your own. As we come to acknowledge your sovereignty and grace, and enter anew into covenant with you, reveal any falsehood within us. Let your Spirit impress your truth on our inmost being, and receive us in mercy, for the sake of our mediator, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. Nancy Augusta Carew Ministry: Education, Women’s Training Center, Liberia Advance #13911Z

3. A Well-Watered Garden

A centering thought or opening prayer, based on Isaiah 58:6–11. Loving God in heaven, Your desire is that we grow in you. You urge us to send our roots deep, and draw from the life-giving water you provide. Your perfect plan is for your church to be: a well-watered garden, a cool and quiet place that nourishes and inspires the weary soul with the wonder and wisdom of the eternal God, a pleasant refuge that exudes the sweet-smelling aroma of Jesus Christ to the disillusioned, an oasis in a dry place that itself drinks of the Spring that never dries up, and gives direction to the searching and confused, a bountiful pantry that satisfies the hungry with good food, a symphony of color and diversity where others may sit for a minute and behold the beauty of the Lord.


And when the time comes, Help us to submit to your careful tending and pruning, That we may bear more fruit for your glory In the name of your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen. Jane Kies Ministry: English Teacher, Africa University, Mutare, Zimbabwe Advance #10739Z

4. Call to Worship One: All: One: All: One: All: One: All: One: All: One: All: One: All:

Let us gather together, Despite our disagreements, despite our differences. Whether black or white, male or female, Whether European, Latino, American, Arab, Roma, African, or Asian, Whether rich or poor, Christian, Muslim, or Jew, We are all children of one loving God. A gentle and caring Father; a strong and steady Mother, A God of love. Come, let us gather together. Let us worship God.

O give thanks to the Lord, for God is good; God’s steadfast love endures forever! Let Israel say, “God’s steadfast love endures forever.”

One: All:

The Lord is my strength and my might; God has become my salvation. There are glad songs of victory in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of the Lord does valiantly;

One: All:

The Lord has punished me severely, but God did not give me over to death. Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord.

One: All:

This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter through it. I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation.

One: All:

The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.

All:

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Governor Mays Ministry: Mission Interpreter, South Central Jurisdiction, USA Advance #982981

6. Call To Worship One: All: One: All: One: All:

Let us worship God who, with forgiving hands, shapes us into new people. The church is the place where the lost, the least, the forgotten, the ignored gather. Let us worship God who looks at us with the eyes of love.

PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION 8. Prayer for Illumination

Holy and gracious God, you are the source of all light. Through your Word, pour out the Spirit of wisdom and understanding on us, so that our hearts and minds may be opened to know your truth and your way. Speak your eternal Word to us that we may respond to your gracious promises with faithfulness, service, and love. Amen.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION 9. Prayer of Confession All:

God of love, we confess we often fail. We do not love all of our neighbors; we sometimes do not even love everyone inside of our congregation. Free us so that we can love like you. We ask for forgiveness for those times when we have turned a blind eye to the injustices we see. Forgive us for our closed hearts.

All:

We confess that we find it easier to speak up for people than to speak with people, to get to know others, than to walk in their shoes.

All:

Humble our hearts, so that we may see your divinity in all of your creation. (Allow a time for silent prayer of confession.)

One:

Hear this good news, God forgives again and again; in the name of Jesus Christ you are forgiven!

Stephanie Kimec Ministry: US-2, Immigration Task Force, California-Pacific Annual Conference and Shalom Ministry at Echo Park United Methodist Church, USA Advance #3021353

10. Prayer of Confession

Gracious God, we often struggle with what it means to be faithful. Sometimes we surround ourselves with comfortable symbols. We see bread and juice, anointing oil, the cross, and our safe sanctuary. We look for familiar signs in our church that are all around us. Our friends sitting near, our favorite hymn being sung; it is very reassuring. Sometimes our church is a mighty fortress closing out the world. Outside these doors there are others. They are not sure they want to enter and we confess we are not sure we want them here. Forgive us our narcissism. Forgive us our complacency, praying for you to act when we are here. May we remember Christ has no body but ours. Help us to find that vital and disturbing faith which transforms. Help us not to confuse the symbols of faith with faith itself. May we be Christ’s body in the world. Amen. Donald E. Edwards Ministry: Shalom Zone, Grace Ministries, Roanoke, Virginia, USA Advance #982026

11. Prayer of Reflection and Confession

Sunday morning and I could be sleeping. I know the service by heart. No need for the hymnal when we say the Creed, Lord’s Prayer, or Doxology. I will be told again that I am forgiven, God loves me, and Jesus has saved me. Sometimes though, I feel an emptiness. I didn’t have to come today, but I did. Forgive me, Lord, when I fail to show others compassion. Forgive me my safe faith built on routines. Help me to be open to new paths. Maybe it is not so bad to say the Social Creed once in a while. It reminds me of why I first joined this church. Perhaps it is time for me to re-examine my faith and find new ways to be faith-filled. Forgive me, Lord. Donald E. Edwards Ministry: Shalom Zone, Grace Ministries, Roanoke, Virginia, USA Advance #982026

12. Our Confession

Creator, we are fragmented. You intended us to be one: woven together and safe in your arms. We have pulled society’s fabric into pieces, attempting to gain control for ourselves. The media often do no more than reinforce and polish our narrow views. We weld idols from broken shards of understanding and rely on them instead of your provision. Slowly, we erect a wall of fearful self-interest that becomes our shrinking prison. What we call “security” is a miserable separation. Though stitches hurt for a moment, sew us together again, Lord. Guide us in The Way when we are vulnerable, so we can grow to be faithful, kind, and resilient. Join our hands and hearts with distant communities so we can be whole, in solidarity and love. Warm us with your closeness, Great Counselor. Amen. John Daniel Gore Ministry: Mission Intern, Wi’am Palestinian Conflict Resolution Center, Bethlehem, Israel/Palestine Advance #3021335

13. Confession One:

People in need are knocking at the door, hungry, homeless, at risk. One: Here at home, and in many countries, doors are closing: doors of opportunity, doors of compassion, doors of welcome, they are all closing. All: I am the door, Jesus said.


One: People are lost and looking for a way. Desperate, in danger, but there’s no way forward; and they can’t go back. One: So they die on the open seas, in freight containers, at border crossings. All:

I am the way, Jesus said.

One:

People in terror are telling their stories, reporting abuse, rape, massacre. by government soldiers and officials. We choose to believe the official story or close our ears and our eyes to documented accounts.

One:

All:

I am the truth, Jesus said.

One: All:

Forgive us, O God, for slamming doors, for building roadblocks and detours, for putting our self interest before your truth.

One: Make us hungry and thirsty for your justice, All: make us uncomfortable with the way things are so that we keep finding ways to open doors, to make ways straight and to hear and tell the truth, All:

in the name of the one who is the Door and the Way, the Truth and the Life.

CREED 14. Credo

Creo, Dios, que tú no eres en primer lugar nuestro Juez y Señor, sino nuestro Padre y Madre, porque oyes el clamor de tus hijos e hijas oprimidos. Que estás en los cielos, hacia donde se dirige nuestra mirada en medio de la lucha. Santificado sea tu actuar liberador contra los que nos oprimen, muchas veces en tu nombre. Venga a nosotros tu justicia, empezando por los más empobrecidos. Hágase tu voluntad y tu liberación, que empiece en la tierra y termine en el cielo. Que el pan que producimos todos juntos cada día, lo podamos compartir y comer juntos. Perdona nuestro egoísmo en la medida que luchamos por erradicar el egoísmo colectivo. Y no nos dejes caer en la tentación de explotar a los demás para acumular riquezas. Mas líbranos de la venganza y del odio contra el malo que oprime y reprime. Amén. Creed (Translated into English by Miguel Mairena, author.) I believe, God, that you are not primarily our Judge and Lord, but our Father and Mother, because you hear the cry of the oppressed—your sons and daughters. You are in heaven; we raise our eyes to you in the middle of our struggles. Hallowed be your liberating actions against those who oppress us many times in your name. Let your justice come to us, beginning with those most impoverished. Let your will and your liberation begin on earth and end in heaven. Let the bread that we produce every day be shared and eaten by all. Forgive our selfishness in the measure that we strive to eradicate collective selfishness. And keep us from the temptation of exploiting others to accumulate wealth. Deliver us from vengeance and hate against those who oppress and repress. Amen. Miguel Mairena Ministry: Women and Community Association, Nicaragua Advance #12877Z


CONTEMPORARY PSALM 15. Psaume à partir de l’Écriture: Souffrance d’une servante

Oh Dieu, aie pitié de moi et secours-moi Oh Dieu, viens en hâte au secours de ta servante. Ne regarde pas mes péchés et mes iniquités. Mes os se consument au-dedans de moi Mon âme languit et se dessèche. Chaque jour, je suis en pleure. Oh, si mes larmes pouvaient donner vie, elles le feraient Mais le souffle et la vie ne viennent que de toi seul, Eternel mon Dieu. Dieu de grâce et de miséricorde Tu n’as pas eu pitié de ta servante ; Tu n’as pas écouté ses prières et ses supplications Tu as fait descendre ta servante dans l’abîme, au séjour des morts. Tu as brise en moi orgueil, force, vie … Mes ennemis se rient de moi Et me demandent où est ton Dieu ? Je ne suis plus que l’ombre de moi-même Semblable à un arbuste brulé par le soleil dans le désert Père saint jette un regard favorable sur ta servante. Apaise son cœur ! Mon cœur saigne ! Qui viendra panser ma plaie ? D’où me viendra le secours ! Le secours me viendra de l’Éternel seul qui a fait les cieu et la terre. Le secours me viendra de l’Éternel seul qui est maître de toute chaire et de tout esprit. Mon âme ne t’attriste pas. Aie confiance en Dieu. Il te secourra dans sa grande miséricorde. Il fera de toi une source d’eau vive. Amen ! Psalm from Scripture: Suffering Servant (Translated to English by Jacqueline Agré, author.) Oh God, have mercy on me and rescue me Oh God, hurry to the aid of your servant. Don’t watch my sins and my iniquities. My bones burn inside of me, My soul is languishing and drying out. Every day, I mourn. Oh, if my tears could give life, they would, But breath and life come from only you, Lord, my God. God of grace and mercy, You have not had pity on your servant; You have not listened to her prayers and her pleas, You sent your servant down to the abyss, in the realm of the dead.

11


You have broken my pride, strength, life . . . My enemies laugh at me And ask me, “Where is your God?” I am a mere shadow of my former self, Similar to a shrub burned by the sun in the desert. Holy Parent, take a positive look on your servant. Soothe her heart! My heart is bleeding! Who will come to heal my wound? Where will help come from for me? Help will come to me from the Lord, who made the heavens and the Earth. Help will come to me from the Lord, who is master of all flesh and spirit. My soul, do not sadden. Have confidence in God. God will rescue you in God’s great mercy. God will make you a source of living water. Amen! Jacqueline Agré Ministry: Educator with the Christian community, Tunis, Tunisia Advance #3021260

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 16. Prayer for the Day

All powerful, loving God, guide and direct our every move and word. Help us to be ever careful to share your love with everyone we come into contact with today and everyday. Provide your loving and caring arms around all of your children to bring good health, happiness, and wholeness to their lives. Help us to assist all of our neighbors with mercy and kindness in life, even when we feel hesitant to do so. We ask all of this in your son’s name. Amen. Katie Peterson Ministry: Director of God’s Country Cooperative Parish Ministry in the Eastern Upper Peninsula of Northern Michigan, USA Advance #982942

17. Prayer for the Day

Gracious God, we often fail to live up to your calling in our lives and we miss the signs of your work that goes on all around us. Renew us, we pray. Let us be captured again by visions of your kingdom. Help us to believe in the time proclaimed when the hungry will be fed, when strangers will be welcomed, when the sick will have care, and the homeless will find shelter. Grow us into the kind of disciples who will expect great things from you so that we may attempt and achieve great things in your name. In the name of Christ Jesus, we pray, Amen. Marilyn Beecher Ministry: Regional Director for Central Florida Justice for Our Neighbors, USA Advance #982900

18. Our Life as God’s Poem: A Centering Moment

Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (KJV). In ancient Greek, the word translated as “workmanship” is poiema, which is the root of the English word “poem.” This verse could be understood to say: “for we are God’s poem . . . ” If our life is a poem written by the hand of God, then it is God’s lyrical masterpiece filled with twists and turns, metaphors and similes that are written to testify to God’s faithfulness. Through a life of devotion and service to Christ, we learn that when we put our hand in God’s hand and trust God in the face of fear; good things, including those good works that Christ has called us to do, are on the other side. God’s plan for our lives is not only for us, but also for those around us. Oh Lord, we are your poem. Help us to be the tablets upon which you carve a life of Christ-centered obedience, commitment, and service to others. Amen. Mary Zigbuo and Janine A. Camara, her granddaughter Ministry: Missionary with Circles of Hope, Wadesboro, North Carolina, USA Advance #10721Z

Your love hasfilled our congregations, the priests, and pastors and all those who fear you, Lord. We offer you our dedication and humbly give testimony to the goodness you, our God, have shown us.

We thank you, Lord, because you have heard our cry of anguish. God, you comfort us with support and give us a new perspective on the future.

One: All:

This is the day that the Lord has made. As we worship you Lord, we also confess our confidence in you. We rely on you more than those who have flesh and blood, both lowly and exalted.

All:

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.

PRAYER FOR SPECIFIC TIMES OR SITUATIONS 20. Prayer for the Children

Lord, you are our refuge and strength, our Mighty God, our Great Help in time of need. Right now, as we focus on the children of the world, we remember your words to “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them.” We bring these children before you. These precious children around the world who have yet to know the loving kindness of the Savior; we bring petition on their behalf. We pray for the abused children around the world, we pray that your love will overshadow and touch them where they are. May there be someone who will go in your name to bring deliverance and hope to the lost children of the world. May there be someone who will fight for the cause of the children and rescue them from child slavery. May there be someone who will show God’s love to bring healing to their hearts and hope for their futures. We pray for all the neglected children who are alone and hungry at night. May there be someone to show them Jesus’ love and compassion to provide food and shelter for the body and the soul. May there be someone who will teach and train them in the ways of God. May there be someone who will be willing to bring God’s truth in love and deed. May there be someone to take these children by the hand and bring them to Jesus. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

23. Prayer Read at a Service of Death and Resurrection for the Death of a Child*

At the grave of Lazarus, you wept Jesus, because you know all our sorrows. It’s not easy for us to accept the mystery of death, but you conquered it the morning of your own resurrection. Raise us, and all the suffering families of the world, from death into life, and help us to live victoriously in Thee as we continue our journey in this world. Our heavenly God, we thank you for Christ’s grace through which we come to your presence in this dark hour. We commend to your tender care [name of parents/guardians], as they mourn the death of their son/daughter, [name of the child.] We also pray for [names of siblings], their living children that you may lead them from sadness to strength. Fit them for love and service in the heavenly kingdom. Almighty God, in your keeping there is shelter from the storm as you give comfort to this family and all of us. Help us to know that your care enfolds us all; that you are our refuge and strength. In Jesus, our Lord, we pray. Amen. *The Theological Seminary of the Dominican Evangelical Church, where Dr. Grano de Oro serves as Dean, supports English language training for students and their children in separate groups.

25. The Call to Discipleship Litany One: The Creator is our Source and Strength. Our God is a force like wind and flame, spreading wide and penetrating lives. The Holy Spirit of the Lord is calling across the globe, calling to every society, calling for every disciple’s life, soul, and strength! All:

We hear, we understand, and we take action. Our hearts are like hot coals.

One:

This calling breaks familiar shackles and melts idols. It upsets every false foundation, yet creates a movement that cannot be deterred. Christ’s disciples lay down their singular lives in exchange for collective responsibility. They will be peacemakers: the children of God.

All:

We hear, we understand, and we take action. Ignite our hidden gifts with your breath.

One:

The call to discipleship grates against corrupt institutions, religious and secular. Christ’s disciples are challenged to love enemies, without conceding, and ask questions for which they have no easy answer. They will say, “love justice and resist evil” with smiles upon their faces because their energy comes from the Eternal One.

All:

We hear, we understand, and we take action. Fuel and sustain our endeavor, we pray.

One:

At every moment, Jesus chose to be the perfect image of the Creator’s love by being present with those who sought him. Not content to be pure by the exclusion of sin, he reached to the despised, the ignored, the lepers, and the racially different. He offended people with power. They crucified him, but his principles were too momentous—unstoppable.

All:

We hear, we understand, and we take action. Christ’s torch will never be extinguished.


One:

All:

19

Humanity has let fear and greed fragment our world. The curtains that divide us also separate us from God. At first, our curtains are as thin as shut eyelids but they smother us as we lose compassion for our unseen brothers and sisters. Christ’s disciples will open the nations’ eyes and lead them by the hand. They will blast the concrete walls and loosen the tourniquets of steel that mar Christ’s vision. They will choose love and solidarity, not selfishness masquerading as security. We will hear, we will understand, and we will take action. Together, we can tear apart the curtains that prevent wisdom and compassion from spreading. Draw us near to your warmth, Creator, and near to each other in the fullness of time. Amen.

26. Prayer of Lament One: Teach us to lament, Lord. Teach us to weep until our eyes are swollen shut and no tears can fall. Teach us to wail until our every breath is a gasp and we have no strength left to stand. Teach us to grieve until the very core of our being is one with all of your children. All: Teach us to lament, Lord. One:

All:

Teach us to love, Lord. Teach us to love until there are no more persons willing to commit suicide with bombs. Teach us to love until there are no more persons who use guns against the innocent. Teach us to love until there is no violence against one another in our communities. Teach us to love, Lord.

One: Teach us to witness, Lord. Teach us to be with each other as we offer clean water to the thirsty and food to the hungry. Teach us to join together to be messengers of your justice and reconciliation. Teach us to share the story of your grace and love offered to all. All: Teach us to witness, Lord. All:

Teach us to lament. Teach us to love. Teach us to witness. Teach us, Lord, we need to learn from you. Amen.

27. Opening Prayer During Eastertide

Creating God, your overflowing love is evident in the beauty of creation around us. We see your love in the abundant colors of the wings of each creature that flies, in the sunrise over the oceans, and in the glow of the moon at night. We hear your love in the sounds of the world around us—in drops of rain tapping on leaves, in the laughter of children, and in the powerful winds that blow across the face of the earth. We have experienced anew your creating love through the Easter “alleluias” that still echo in our hearts. We hear shouts of joy that proclaim, “Christ is alive!” Yet, Lord, we also hear the wailing cries of your people in communities destroyed by tornados, earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters. We hear the shouts of violence in war-torn cities and villages, in every street, and in too many homes. We see hunger in the eyes of people in every community. Hunger for food, for water, for safe places to live, for loving arms of comfort, and for the spiritual food of your Word and your love. We see the pain of injustice in the faces of those who have no available medical assistance, in workers who struggle in unhealthy work environments, and in the eyes of mothers who lose their children to warlords and slavery. Today, loving One, like the women of the first Easter morning, we walk with hope-filled hearts towards an empty tomb. We find ourselves in the dimness of the dawn, waiting for the sunrise of a world filled with shalom. Melt the dimness, Lord, and fill us with the light of your new day. While we wait, God of glory, we commit our lives to sharing the joyful news of the resurrected Christ as we serve with our sisters and brothers around the world. We join our “alleluias” with your people gathered here and in every corner of the earth. Grant that we may sing “Christ is Risen” triumphantly to a world that needs to hear that you are alive, just as you promised. We offer our praises to you this day in the name of Jesus, the Christ. Amen. Debra Tyree and Jorge Lockward Ministry: Global Praise, a program of Global Ministries

OFFERTORY PRAYER 28. Prayer of Dedication

(Translated into Swahili by Eric and Elizabeth Soard, authors) Tunakuskukuru Mungu kwa matunda ya baraka yako. Leo, tunasifu Mungu kwa matunda ya kazi yetu. Tunatoa matunda ku Mungu. Tumia sadaka yetu kwa mipango yako na baraka yako katika duniani. Amina. Prayer of Dedication God we thank you for the fruit of your blessing. Today we praise you for the fruit of our work and give it to you. Use our offering for your plans and your blessings in the world. Amen. Eric and Eizabeth Soard Ministry: Church Planter and Discipleship Trainer, Mara Region, Tanzania Advance #3021468 (Eric), Advance # 3021467 (Elizabeth)

29. Prayer of Dedication/Offering: About Togetherness

Our meeting is such a precious experience; we thank the Lord for every time we were together, before, and for every time we can join hands again. We yearn to be present with the Holy Spirit and each other. Beyond sitting together, even beyond pooling our resources in offering, we yearn to pool our talents and energies, joining together in collective responsibility. Make us, not just each of us, but all of us together, into the instrument that mends fractured communities and removes lingering barriers. Some of us are missing, whether by choice or by circumstances. Still others are yet to come into our lives. We pray you would increase our number to bolster the work we do together in our community and the wider world. We ask these things in your honorable name. Amen. John Daniel Gore Ministry: Mission Intern, Wi’am Palestinian Conflict Resolution Center, Bethlehem, Israel/Palestine Advance #3021335

30. Presentation of Tithes and Offering (Dedication) One: All:

We pray that all the blessings we have brought to you in this service will announce the good news of Jesus Christ. For the living of these days full of opportunity and blessing! Rejoice in the Lord! Rejoice!

OTHER ACTS OF WORSHIP 37. Hymn: Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee (New Mission-Focused Text in Stanza Three)

1. Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love; hearts unfold like flowers before thee, opening to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away. Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day! 2. All thy works with joy surround thee, earth and heaven reflect thy rays, stars and angels sing around thee, center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea, chanting bird and flowing fountain, call us to rejoice in thee. 3. We are sending and receiving, changing systems, giving birth; Send us forth to kin-dom living; sowing justice ‘round the earth. Co-creating ever with you, planting seeds of your shalom, God of mission, dance among us, lead us to our common home. 4. Mortals, join the mighty chorus which the morning stars began; love divine is reigning o’er us, binding all within its span. Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife; joyful music leads us sunward, in the triumph song of life. WORDS: Henry Van Dyke, st.1, 2, & 4.

39. Blessing for UMCOR Kits

Gracious God, you know the hurts and needs of all your children. We ask you now to bless these kits as they go out to meet the needs of our sisters and brothers wherever there is chaos and hurt. May they bring health to those who do not have supplies to keep themselves healthy. May they bring hope to those whose lives have been upset by natural or human disaster. May they extend our compassion and love to those who receive them. We give thanks for the bounty, which we can share. We give thanks for the hands, which have assembled these kits. We give thanks for the hearts, which have been opened to sharing and compassion. God of justice and hope, bless these kits on their journey and distribution, and bless those who receive them. We lift this prayer in the name of the Jesus who taught us how to love each other. Amen. Jeanette Petit Ministry: UMCOR Sager Brown Volunteer, Baldwin, Louisiana, USA
