We set aside this particular Sunday to spotlight U COUNT, an organization that works to increase awareness of the crime of global sex trafficking and support at risk women, children, and survivors of sex slavery through three fronts: global projects, domestic efforts, and the marketplace.   The theme for the morning was "Change Their Story"

BENEDICTION
Father,  We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, who showed loving kindness to the powerless, that You will grant to the people of this nation the will to do good, to flee from evil, and to practice all righteousness, making us respectful of life and sharers of Your blessings, caring for one another in mercy and truth.   Amen  
PRACTICE
Think of someone who you know very well, whose story you know very well. Holding their face in your mind, say this prayer: Remember to be kind  Endeavor to be aware  Of the quiet world That lives behind each face.*   Think of someone whose story you've decided you know. Someone who you've written a narrative about, that you might need to let go of. Holding their face in your mind, say this prayer: Remember to be kind  Endeavor to be aware  Of the quiet world That lives behind each face.*   Now, see your own face. Knowing your own story, say this prayer: Remember to be kind  Endeavor to be aware  Of the quiet world That lives behind each face.*   *from To Bless The Space Between Us by John O'Donohue
