Call to Worship
2 Corinthians 1: 3-7
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is the Father who is full of mercy. And he is the God of all comfort. He comforts us every time we have trouble, so that we can comfort others when they have trouble. We can comfort them with the same comfort that God gives us. We share in the many sufferings of Christ. In the same way, much comfort comes to us through Christ. If we have troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we have comfort, then you also have comfort. This helps you to accept patiently the same sufferings that we have. Our hope for you is strong. We know that you share in our sufferings. So we know that you also share in the comfort we receive.”

Lighting the Candle of Peace
Prayer for Peace
“God of Transformation, we confess our weakness as humans. Your love is stronger than human oppression, Your patience is more long-lasting than human stubbornness, and Your forgiveness is more powerful than human hatred. May we be renewed by Your love and forgiveness and eager to work for peace. Grant us the humility and openness to Your will so that we may act in Your name. Grant us the faith to speak Your words in the face of oppression, knowing the power to change the world lies in Your words. In the Name of Jesus, in Whose footsteps we strive to follow, Amen.”
Disciples’ Generous Response
“God’s generous compassion is limitless. As we open our hearts to courageously and generously share our gifts, we join the movement of God’s compassion in the world. God shares abundantly, we share faithfully, other share generously, and God’s love and compassion grow endlessly.”
