Sometimes Lord,
it is hard to find the words.
Sometimes, just one word expresses it well.
So we pray help.
Help all those who are grieving.
Help all those who are sick and/or who have been exposed.
Help the frontline workers.
Help all those whose livelihoods have been affected.
Help the most vulnerable.
Help our families.
Help the world.
Help us because we are tired and afraid.
Remind us that you are with us
in the midst of this.
We give you thanks for that.
So please cover us with your peace this day,
may we rest underneath the shadow of your wings.
Amen.

God placed on my heart several years ago the desire to create a place that permeates love, acceptance, and welcome for all, a place that offers programs and services that ministers to people body/mind/spirit. Because people can be wounded and excluded through the church, the desire was to intentionally create a safe, welcoming, inclusive and affirming place where all truly belong, where people can experience being loved and heard, healing and wholeness, and a deeper awareness of God. It has been a joy and a privilege to partner with God and others in this ministry.
