Teach us to seek first your kingdom, trusting that you provide what we truly need.
May our churches become places of renewal, our homes places of stewardship,
and our lives signs of hope for future generations.
Amen
The Earth is not silent. She speaks in melting ice, in rivers that run too warm, in forests burning where green once breathed. She speaks in storms that arrive without warning, in winds that carry dust across fields where crops once grew. But still, there are voices who say, “There is nothing to fear.” Still, there...
Genesis 1: 1 – 2: 4a, Matthew 28: 16–20 By Revd George Mwaura There’s a story of a Sunday school teacher who asked the class, ‘Can anyone explain the Trinity for me?’ An eight-year-old girl seated at the front thought for a moment and said, ‘Well… God is kind of like a 3-in-1 shampoo: Father, Son,...

God of abiding presence, you promise not to leave us orphaned,
but to dwell within us through your Spirit.

Give us grace to speak of our hope with gentleness and respect,
and to live in such a way that others may glimpse your life within us.
Amen
