ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS

October 14, 2019

Prayer for the Week:

One of your expressions of love –

A faith community –

this faith community –

was impacted by flood waters.

Experts warned

of decline and despair.

They told of many churches

that never recovered

But moving among a quirky

and authentic group of people

Your Living and Life-Giving Spirit

has been named,

enjoyed and embraced.

Some decline has occurred,

but not in faithfulness.

Despair was felt, understandably,

but despair did not rule the day.

O God of the Universe

and Everything Beyond,

God of the Known and Unknown,

thank you

for doing something among us

that clearly was not of us.

Thank you

for allowing love and decency

to prevail even amidst the sorrow.

Continue

to provide us a confidence in you

and what is possible through you.

Continue

to shape us into the people

you need us to be

in the world today.

This is our prayer

at a time

full of promise and possibility.

Amen.
