Today's Liturgy:

Psalm 9:9-10 (NRSV)

9 The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of trouble.

10 And those who know your name put their trust in you,

for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Prayer

Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of peace, as children of one God. Amen.

(adapted from Book of Common Prayer)

Benediction

Beloved Friends, thank you for abiding in this moment of prayer. As you go forth:

Serve your God with patience and passion.

Be deliberate in enacting your faith.

Be steadfast in celebrating the Spirit’s power.

And may peace be your way in the world. Amen.

(a prayer by Glen E. Rainsley, 20th century. Taken from UMC Book of Worship, 559).
