Isaiah 42:1-3
“Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; a bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice.”

Blessing of the Offerings
Prayer for Peace
We come before you thankful, so very grateful for the birth and baptism of Jesus. Just as you called Jesus by name into the waters of baptism, you call each of us, too. From north, south, east, and west, all around the world you call your beloved. Together we ache for peace in every corner of our world. Empower us to go, to act, knowing that You will be with us as we strive for peace in our schools, neighborhoods, and communities. We pray for peace, and now we work for peace. In the name of Jesus, our example of peace. Amen

Colossians 3:14-17
“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
