Current Events

A Call to Worship
Based on current events in late June/early July 2015, and Psalm 123
For Pentecost 6B, 7/5/15

When we celebrate a Supreme Court ruling that says that all people’s love is created equal, we turn to our God.

To you, O Lord, we lift up our eyes. Show us your mercy. Bless all people.

When we grieve the senseless death of sisters and brothers, based on nothing but the color of their skin, we turn to our God.

To you, O Lord, we lift up our eyes. Show us your mercy. Bless all people.

When we see women belittled because of their sex, denied pay raises and treated disrespectfully, we turn to our God.

To you, O Lord, we lift up our eyes. Show us your mercy. Bless all people.

When we rejoice at the generosity of people, who provide housing and assistance to those who are in need, we turn to our God.

To you, O Lord, we lift up our eyes. Show us your mercy. Bless all people.
