God we hold your people in our hearts, you hear our voices singing hymn to you:
All people of Palestine, dear God of many names, be with our faith siblings, may your presence be known, that you do not abandon… amidst this horrific suffering. We pray for the seismic in-breaking of your love to prevail across the mid-east, and to move our own actions in the U.S.
For your students across Seattle finishing their second year remote.
For Barb’s sister, Marsha recovering after successful surgery.
For Mothering God. For the women in Sheri’s life over the years.
For sabbath. For health. For healing. For resting. For shovels!
For God having the place next to the river already waiting for us.
For all who have embodied fierce mothering love to every margin.
Jessica and Journie (Sojourner), in this time of loss, our thoughts are with all of Nicholas’ family. And for Jess’ additional sudden loss of friend Lynn, in this time.
For Connie’s friend’s family in Europe in this tragic loss of their loved one to Covid.
For Sheri for the continual path of growth you offer us in life, O God.
For Betty’s daughter in law in this new professorship!
For Sandie & Bill’s move to Everett.
Self giving agape love. For each action of justice to be our seeds for a better world.
Holy God, in your mercy ... hear our prayers!
