HYMN: Comfort, Comfort You My People (#3 Presbyterian Hymnal)
CONFESSION AND COMMITMENT –John Lewis
Do not get lost in a sea of despair.
Be hopeful. Be optimistic.
Our struggle
is not the struggle
of a day
a week,
a month or a year.
It is the struggle of a lifetime.
Never, ever be afraid
to make some noise
and get in good trouble,
necessary trouble.
Nothing can stop the power
of a committed and determined people
to make a difference in our society.
Why?
Because human beings
are the most dynamic link
to the Divine on this planet.
-Amen.

PRAYER OF DEDICATION:
We make our offerings, small and large,
with the hope and confidence
that what we give,
what we say,
what we think,
and what we hope
will take root in this world
and be the source of new expressions
of God’s love and God’s justice,
May God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven
through us,
alongside us,
despite us,
and for everyone. Amen.
