Opening Song

“Come Out!” – Tanya Linn Bennett and Mark A. Miller

Scripture Reading – Proverbs 27:17-19

Roeline Ramirez

17 Iron sharpens iron,
and one person sharpens the wits of another.
18 Anyone who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit,
and anyone who takes care of a master will be honored.
19 Just as water reflects the face,
so one human heart reflects another.

Leader: The Word of God for the people of God.
All: Thanks be to God.

Prayer of the Day

Vincent Yohanna

God,
We are your beloved.
even in our unfinished state,
you take delight in what we are
and what we will become.
Help us to claim for our own your gentle leading in our lives,
help us to know you are always hoping for more for us
and from us.
Give us the strength and peace of heart
to be filled with your power. Amen.
