Dearest God,

Thank you, O God, for setting apart one day a week for worship.  Thank you for the opportunity to pause and remember your compassion and mercy.  Thank you for time and space to be thankful, to praise and adore, to sing the song of faith, to pray and be silent.  Thank you for your holy church that stands as a beacon of light as a body.  Filled with flawed humans, your spirit is present reminding us through your word we have a purpose, we are to love one another, and we are to live worthy lives of carrying your name.

I missed church today because I was a little under the weather but in our morning prayer at the breakfast table I thanked you for blessed Sundays.

Stretch and grow
your people,
O Lord.
Show us
the way
to peace,
to hope,
to love,
to grace,
to praise,
and to goodness,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
