We extend the hand of love and friendship to all, as we join together in following Jesus day by day! May we be a beacon of God’s love everywhere. God bless you!

We pray to you, O God: giving thanks that we do not travel alone on this journey of faith. We are grateful for the wisdom of our ancestors in faith and for the wisdom and witness of our community of faith today. Guide our steps that we may follow Jesus and seek to emulate his ministry of compassionate service. Encourage us when we face challenges and feel discouraged. Remind us of your constant presence as we walk together, this day and in the days to come. Amen
