PRELUDE: A Prayer of Need—Penny Rodriguez
CALL TO RETURN TO OUR SOULS
HYMN: Will you let me Be Your Servant? (Glory to God 727)
CONFESSION AND COMMITMENT by John Lewis
“We are a light.
We are the light.
We must never let anyone —
any person or any force —
dampen, dim or diminish our light.
We must release the need to hate,
to harbor division,
and the enticement of revenge.
Release all bitterness.
Hold only love,
only peace in your heart,
knowing that the battle
of good to overcome evil
is already won.”
Amen.

PRAYER OF DEDICATION:
Human progress
is neither automatic
nor inevitable.
Every step
toward the goal of justice
requires sacrifice,
suffering,
and struggle;
the tireless exertions
and passionate concern
of dedicated individuals.
Let us become dedicated
by what we give,
who we become,
and the work
we are willing to do.
Amen.
–Adapted from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
