a community creating for the relentless return of Sunday
As we read the words of scripture,
we are pointed to your living Word who walked among us;
and we are surrounded by your Spirit,
who whispers words within our hearts and minds.
Inspire us in our hearing and reflecting,
that we may move beyond your words
into life-changing acts of grace, love, hope, and peace.
Amen.

Holy God,
as of the year two thousand ten,
according to Google,
one hundred twenty-nine million,
eight hundred sixty-four thousand,
eight hundred and eighty books
have been published in modern history.
We like words.
We enjoy good speeches.
And, too often, because of that,
we spend more time saying things,
and less time doing things.
But you remind us,
and…to tell you the truth…we know,
that what really matters are our actions.
So inspire us with our words,
but also inspire us beyond our words,
so we may be a constant, visible reminder
of your love in the world…
