August 10, 2025 Ninth Sunday After Pentecost

Is there something that day?  Is there study throughout the week?  Is there a time of being still?  Could you pray the prayer from the bishop (see below)?  To be clear:  if all you can do is get yourself in the door on Sunday, then just do that.  That’s important, and may your worship time be blessed.  But if you can, consider whether for you, too, there is something you can do to get ready for worship. 

 

I’ll see you in church,

 

Becky

 

 

 

 

Prayer

For our prayer this week, I offer you again the prayer from Bishop Sandra Steiner-Ball: 

God of healing and hope,

Break through the messiness of our lives with the power of your Holy Spirit.  Reconnect us with you, so that we can hear your voice more clearly and allow your love to be reborn in our hearts.  Break through with your resurrection power to reconnect us with one another and lead us to new partnerships in our communities.  Empower us to share the good news of your transforming love and new life.  Amen.
