This morning Toby and Josh led us in our worship and Pauline led us in reflecting on whether we should worry or not - does Jesus tell us not to worry and Paul tell us that we should?
Today is also Racial Justice Sunday
A Prayer for Racial Justice Sunday
Eternal God,
out of whose absolute power and infinite intelligence the whole universe came into being,
draw us together in love and unity for one another.
Help us to first see our own dignity and to unconditionally love ourselves.
Give us the strength to love our neighbours,
and the courage to go the extra mile and love our enemies.
The history of our lives is the history of eternal revolt against you, So, in the light of your grace and mercy,
may we learn to love you with all of our hearts, souls and minds.
May we forgive just as you forgive us for what we could have been, but failed to be.
Give us minds to know your will, Give us hearts to love your will,
Give us the devotion to live out your ways, and to be all that we were made to be.
In the name of the Spirit of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
