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…
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.

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…
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.

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…

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…

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…
