Evening Prayer – 18 July 2019

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

Today was a busy day

A time of reflection

A time of working with teammates

A time of prayer in Community

A time of fellowship with good friends

It was indeed a good day, Lord

Thank you for that gift

Now as my eyelids grow heavy

I lift this humble prayer to you

Dona Nobis Pacem

Grant Us Peace

A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…

Sojourners Verse and Voice – 18 July 2019

Verse of the day

From that time Jesus began to announce, ‘Change your hearts and lives! Here comes the kingdom of heaven!’

– Matthew 4:17 (CEB)

Voice of the day

One of the things that has to be faced is the process of waiting to change the system, how much we have got to do to find out who we are, where we have come from and where we are going.

– Ella Baker

Prayer of the day

May we be rebelliously optimistic enough to name and address the systems at work in our world today, and work for change, oh God who declared that your Kindom is near. Amen.

Evening Prayer – 17 July 2019

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

Thank you for the day of reflection and introspection

Thank you, Lord, for the blessings of this ministry

As I walked today through the Valley of the Shadows

What a sacred privilege and honor

It is difficult, Lord… so many…

Yet your Spirit encourages and sustains

Thank you for the evening walk

Thank you for the gift of this precious Elk herd

Time with the Mama and Babies

A sacred moment to pause and simply Be Still

Now, as my eyelids grow heavy

I lift this humble prayer to you

Dona Nobis Pacem

Grant Us Peace

A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…

Sojourners Verse and Voice – 17 July 2019

Verse of the day

Fools find no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing their opinion.

– Proverbs 18:2 (CEB)

Voice of the day

There is also the danger in our culture that because a person is called upon to give public statements and is acclaimed by the establishment, such a person gets to the point of believing that he is the movement.

– Ella Baker

Prayer of the day

Oh God, in our justice work, may we center the bringing about of Your Kindom about here on Earth, and not center the fact that we are doing said work. May we seek to understand, and not be to be understood. Amen.

Evening Prayer – 16 July 2019

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

Thankful for a time of reflection

Thankful for a time of fellowship

Thankful for the opportunity to walk with others

Thankful for community and caring

For these and all good gifts, we thank you Lord

Now as my eyelids grow heavy

I lift this humble prayer to you

Dona Nobis Pacem

Grant Us Peace

A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…

Evening Prayer – 15 July 2019

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

Thank you Lord, for the blessings of this day

For faith

For family

For the opportunity to serve

I ask your blessing upon another family

A family who is walking through the Valley of the Shadows

I ask your blessing upon our congregation

As we seek to love and to serve you

Now, as my eyelids grow heavy

I lift this humble prayer to you

Dona Nobis Pacem

Grant Us Peace

A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…

Evening Prayer – 14 July 2019

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

Another Lord’s Day is over

A time for worship and fellowship

A time for prayer and reflection

A time to enjoy the beauty of your Creation

A time to simply Be Still and Know

A time to Be Still

A time to Be

As the light fades from the sky

I lift this humble prayer to you

Dona Nobis Pacem

Grant Us Peace

A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
