Make us part of your new world, O God.

Black History Month:  by Brother Reginald Crenshaw

Let us Pray: Make us part of your new world, O God.  Create in us brave hearts to make changes in ourselves and to invite change in others.  Open our hearts to receive gifts from those who are different, open our eyes to see you present within their lives, open our ears to hear their stories and open our mouths to be a voice for those who suffer in silence.  May your church be a place of open arms and an open mind, embracing all those for whom you came, Jesus Christ? 

We pray this in your name.        Amen.

Good morning Church.

May Jesus’ peace stand in your hearts this day, this season of Lent.  Amen.
