Prayers

Collect for Social Justice

Almighty God, who created us in your image: Grant us grace fearlessly to contend against evil and to make no peace with oppression; and, that we may reverently use our freedom, help us to employ it in the maintenance of justice in our communities and among the nations, to the glory of your holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

An Integrity Meeting Prayer

God our Creator,
We praise you, for it is You who have made us.
We thank You that we are so wonderfully made.
We marvel at our human diversity.
Help us to know how to express the sexuality You have given us.
Help us to stay in a healthy relationship with You and with others.
When You speak there is light and life,
When You act there is justice and love;
Grant that Your love may be present in this meeting, as we begin a new chapter of Integrity; so that what we say and what we do may be filled with Your Holy Spirit, that our deliberations, plans and commitments may be opened to the goodness of Your creation.
Amen

The Rev. Patsy Abshier

Amen.
