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)
