Call to Worship: Hebrews 12: 1–3

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand at the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”

Light the Candle of Peace

Prayer for Peace

“Dear God, sometimes words fail to express the yearnings of our heart for peace. We see your brilliance and your peace that brings comfort for some, but where is this peace for the hungry, the refugee, the forgotten? We’ve woven complex systems that sometimes make peace seem impossible. Revive

us to become soothing balm for a world in pain, juicy morsels for the hungry, a comforting home for the homeless. Remind us that even when we cannot speak your peace, we can do much to foster peace in our neighborhoods and our hearts. In the name of He who lights the way. Amen.”
