CALL
TO WORSHIP/OPENING PRAYER
On
this day of memory we gather to sing and to pray,
we
remember the past and look to the future.
On
this day when the guns once fell silent,
We
come before you God, seeking Your peace.
On
this day of hope in the face of terror,
We
come before you God, praying with all our hearts:
God
our help in ages past, our hope for years to come.
Help
us to find the path that leads to the Peaceable kingdom. Open our
eyes and the eyes of the nations to find a different path through the
disagreements of life in this world.
In
this time of story, song, and prayer,
may
we be re-committed to being people of Peace, true peace. May we
catch a vision of how the world could live together.
And
so we echo the old prayers,
Make
us channels of your peace. Let there be Peace on Earth and let it
begin with us! Amen
I am so glad that I found your blog. I was trying to find liturgy that "fit" where I feel God taking me this week and I was beginning to lose hope that I would be able to find a starting place. Thank you! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHow do I give you credit in my bulletin?
If you want to give credit a simple notation of my name (Gord Waldie) would suffice.
