​COMMUNITY PRAYER SERVICE
​for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

Monday, January 16

If you would like to read the introduction provided by The World Council of Churches and/or read along with the music, the booklet can be found here.
Isaiah challenged God’s people in his day to learn to do good together; to seek justice together, to rescue the oppressed together, to defend the orphan and plead for the widow together. The prophet’s challenge applies equally to us today. How can we live our unity as Christians so as to confront the evils and injustices of our time? How can we engage in dialogue, increase awareness, understanding and insight about one another’s lived experiences?
Please join A Place to Be and communities around the world as we pray for awareness, understanding, insight and justice together.

Christian mission begins with friendship—not utilitarian friendship, the religious version of network marketing—but genuine friendship, friendship that translates love for neighbors in general into knowing, appreciating, liking, and enjoying this or that neighbor in particular. . . .
Read more about Brian McLaren's thoughts about the role of friendship in Christian mission here.
We want to hear from you!

Beloved Presence on my path of life,
thank you for the footprints left on my heart: 
the soft and gentle ones that brought comfort,
the deep and lasting ones of enduring friendship,
the lightly passing ones conveying kindness,
the heavy ones causing necessary change,
and the impressionable footprints swept away by time.
Even though lost, forgotten, or not recognized,
these visitors have led me to live more fully
the innate goodness residing deep within me.
How grateful I am.
Abundant peace, 
Joyce Rupp

Give me the grace to care without neglecting my needs...
The humility to assist without rescuing...
The kindness to be clear without being cold...
The mercy to be angry without rejecting...
The prudence to disclose without disrespecting my privacy...
The humor to admit human failings without experiencing shame...
And the compassion to give freely without giving myself away.
Amen.

A collision of opposites forms the cross of Christ.
One leads downward preferring the truth of the humble.
The other moves leftward against the grain.
But all are wrapped safely inside a hidden harmony:
One world, God's cosmos, a benevolent universe.
