Opening Unison Prayer - (please stand) Heavenly Father, as we gather today, we humbly ask that you cleanse our hearts from the temptation to judge others. Remind us that only you are the true judge, and that we should approach our interactions with compassion and understanding. Help us to see the struggles of those around us and to offer grace instead of criticism. Guide our words and actions to reflect your love and mercy. Alleluia Amen!

All Working in surprising places through surprising people, loving us in surprising ways. Our trust is in you. To your glory, Amen!
