A QUOTE
“It is only the fear of God that can deliver us from the fear of man.” John Witherspoon
A TEXT
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.” I John 4:6,16
AND A PRAYER…OR TWO
Creator God,
Give us a heart for simple things:
love and laughter,
bread and wine,
tales and dreams.
Fill our lives
with green and growing hope;
make us a people of justice
whose song is Alleluia
and whose name breathes love.
This prayer is attributed to Michelangelo (1475-1564)
