 A Prayer for the Journey by Becca Stevens God, set me on the path again. Turn me to the rising sun when I need to be inspired. Turn me to wilderness when I need to be lost. Turn me toward the business of the world when I need to work. Turn me toward the mountain when I need to be refreshed. Then turn me toward the sunset when I need rest. Amen The Ninth Sunday after Pentecost We say farewell to Mother Judith Holy Eucharist at 9 a.m. Hybrid Worship: In person and on Zoom Coffee Hour following the service Masks are recommended but not required I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, God may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love.
