Join us on Facebook for the last chapel service of the Spring semester! Dean Tanya Linn Bennett is preaching and presiding (so BYO elements!) 🍞🍷

Pray God of beginnings and God of endings, as this spring season of our scholarly life together approaches it’s conclusion, remind us that this is a goodbye for now and not forever. Help us look toward the future with hope for new opportunities and to step into the unknown with the confidence that we will always have a place here in the forest. May we bear the seeds of a better world with us as we go. In the name of the one who meets us where we are and journeys with us as we go, we pray. Amen. • Meditate We invite you to spend time in quiet meditation on this image. Concentrate on your breathing. What calls to you today? (Marie Antuanelle, Dreaming 7, 2012). • Read “Blessing the Boats” by Lucille Clifton (at St. Mary’s) may the tide that is entering even now the lip of our understanding carry you out beyond the face of fear may you kiss the wind then turn from it certain that it will love your back may you open your eyes to water water waving forever and may you in your innocence sail through this to that

Pray Creator God, bringer of sunlight and keeper of the stars, we lean upon your steadfast presence today. Help us to offer one another compassion when the frustration and anxiety of social distancing becomes overwhelming. As the days and weeks of this pandemic pass with no end in sight remind us that you have already made all things new. May we await the day we emerge once more into our communities with a sense of advent hope, confident that the seeds of patience we nurture today will bloom in a healthier world. In the name of the one who heals us and sets us free we pray, Amen. • • Meditate We invite you to spend time in quiet meditation on this image. Concentrate on your breathing. Let go of something you’ve been holding onto too tightly. (St. Monica, Patron of Patience). • Listen “Tomorrow and Today” by sisterbrother https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6swg-4rbVk

Join us for worship at noon on Facebook! Today we welcome Rev. Dr. Ediberto Lopez - a PhD graduate of Drew University and Professor of New Testament and Greek at the Evangelical Seminary of Puerto Rico. He is the author of five books, a constitutional lawyer, and an elder in both the New York Annual Conference of the UMC and The Methodist Church of Puerto Rico.

Pray Holy wanderer, each day you are with us as we tread into the unknown. In this season of lent, your journey has become our own. As we move toward the peak of infection, the moment of greatest loss, remind us that you have already overcome death. The grief of Friday is upon us, O God, help us remember that Sunday is coming so that we might work with renewed energy for restoration here and now. May the palms we lay this Sunday be at the feet of the healthcare workers, the grocery clerks, and the delivery people who risk themselves so that we might be cared for and fed, for they are surely your hands and feet, your hope in our sick and fearful world. In the name of love triumphant we pray, Amen. • • Meditate We invite you to spend time in quiet meditation on this image. Concentrate on your breathing. Find a sense of connection in this moment. (Kim Ki-chang, Jesus Comes to Jerusalem, 1951-1952). • Listen “Hosanna” by Markers Worship https://youtu.be/OS5qMf_21lI

We are live right now at www.facebook.com/dreworship with Dr. Patrick Reyes, a Latinx practical theologian, writer, and popular educator. He serves as the Senior Director for Learning Design at FTE!
