Today's Liturgy & Readings:
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine grows more deadly and destructive, I want to invite you to take a few minutes each day at the noon hour to join the St. Andrew community in prayer for the citizens, leaders, and nation of Ukraine. Each week, we will offer a simple liturgy for you to use for this purpose, which will include a prayer and scripture reading. As a people of faith, let’s commit ourselves to pray and work daily for peace, and to join in solidarity with people of Ukraine.
Psalm 23 (NRSV)
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;
3 he restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff—
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surelygoodness and mercyshall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
my whole life long.
Prayer
God of peace and justice,
we pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,
that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace,
for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen
Composed by: Archbishop Justin Welby, Archbishop Stephen Cottrell

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).
