Election Day Prayers

Election Day Prayers

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.

Send Us Now Into the World in Peace

Send Us Now Into the World in Peace

This is an excerpt of this past Sunday’s sermon (re-formatted for the journal) that discusses how the liturgy of the Eucharist transforms our imagination for the Church to embody a “culture of peace” by the practice of “eating” a shared meal.

The lectionary passages from Sunday, July 18th, 2021 (Year B) were Ephesians 2:11-22 and Mark 6:30-44. From these readings, the sermon sought to explore how the themes of “peace” and “eating” are brought together in the Eucharist.
