Praying for others…
Praying for our world…
What words do we use to express the pain of our world?
How do we meaningfully express our concerns, fears and anger?

How do we verbalize the pain and suffering of creation — the people, the creatures, the land?  How do we respond to both natural disasters and violence created by people?
How do we celebrate new beginnings, restored relationships, future possibilities?

This time of ‘Sharing and Caring’* offers a primary opportunity in worship to look outwards and to discern our responsibility for responding.
*Sharing & Caring — a phrase attributed to Darryl Dale-Ferguson of Colorado, USA.
