God Sightings Pastor Harry
(Unison Opening Prayer please stand) Shepherd of my Soul, we gather today with heats full of gratitude. As we celebrate Labor Day, we thank you for the gift of work. For the ability to build, create, teach and support one another, through the work of our hands and minds. We pray to use our works faithfully and always with a Spirit of serving, justice and compassion. Alleluia, Amen!
Opening Praise: Steve
Responsive Reading:
Leader: The call to love one another as God loves us, is a transforming gift of power that can only come from God.
People: We can create acceptance, understanding, and empathy that nurture our relationships and build trust.
Leader: How can we cultivate a spirit of love that dispels fear and creates a place of safety and belonging?
All: The Holy Spirit will remind us to examine our attitude, words and actions - because of His transforming love for us, we have the opportunity to serve others through our labor. To your glory, Amen!
Opening Praise: Steve
