WE OFFER OURSELVES TO GOD
PRAYER OF HEALING – Gathering – Pentecost, 2022, D.A. Fisher – Forest hill U.C.
Loving Creator, we, your fragile children, sometimes neglect to see,
go and act faithfully.
We allow our wants, desires, need and emotions to control our actions.
Sometimes we speak harshly, even cruelly, and then, instantly regret our words.
We do nothing to heal the pain we have caused.
Coming humbly to you in prayer,
we share our faults and ask for your strength to be the people you know we can be.
We do this so we might remember and celebrate how near you are to our hearts.
(silent prayers, meditation)
WORDS OF GRACE AND COMFORT
Children of God,
even in the times we allow our needs to take precedence over the needs of others, know that God is aware of our actions and also our beautiful potential.
God knows that no matter how far we believe we have fallen,
there is always room for us to rise up and shine.
Know that God loves you just the way you are, free and faith-filled.
We go on our way, saying, ‘Peace to this house!’ Amen.

STEWARDSHIP SECONDS
We may not be able to help everyone, but each of us can make a difference to someone.
As beloved children of God, all are included in the life and ministry of the Grace Family where diversity is celebrated. We remember, as we celebrate God’s presence in Worship, that Grace United Church gathers on Treaty 6 land, the traditional territory of the Plains, Wood Cree, and Assiniboine peoples. As Treaty people, we seek to live with respect on this land and live in peace and friendship with all our relations.
