Good morning! As many of you are well aware, today is an important election day. I’m sharing with you three prayers to guide you as you pray for our city. The first is written by Laura C., our Prayer Team leader, and the the other two are collects from our Book of Common Prayer. May these be an aid for your personal, Spirit-led prayers throughout the day.
Several members of our community will be gathering alongside other Christian brothers and sisters for a prayer vigil and demonstration this evening at North Memorial Hospital at 6pm.
In the Christian imagination there is a profound sense of sacredness to the spaces we inhabit. A Home Blessing Liturgy intends to help us remember and reimagine that our common places are, in fact, places of holy habitation—sacred space that is set apart, where we ought to expect to encounter God in every room, at the table, inside the closet, and behind every nook and cranny.
Epiphany is the season in which we celebrate the Light of Christ spreading among the nations. As Epiphanytide progresses, pay attention to the Sunday readings which will tell the story of God the Father expressing love for all humanity, God the Son proclaiming the arrival of the Kingdom, and God the Spirit taking this good news to the gentiles. How will Restoration celebrate Epiphany this year?
