Eternal Spirit, Earth-maker, Pain-bearer, Life-giver,
Source of all that is and that shall be,
Father and Mother of us all, Loving God, in whom is heaven:
The hallowing of your name echo through the universe!
The way of your justice be followed by the peoples of the world!
Your heavenly will be done by all created beings!
Your commonwealth of peace and freedom sustain our hope
and come on earth.
With the bread we need for today, feed us.
In the hurts we absorb from one another, forgive us.
In times of temptation and test, strengthen us.
From trials too great to endure, spare us. From the grip
of all that is evil, free us.
For you reign in the glory of the power that is love,
now and for ever. Amen.

Reflection on the Scripture Passages/Questions for private worship at home:
Psalm 24
1 The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it,
2 for he has founded it on the seas and established it on the rivers.
3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place?
4 Those who have clean hands and pure hearts who do not lift up their souls
to what is false and do not swear deceitfully.
5 They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from the God
of their salvation.
6 Such is the company of those who seek him, who seek the face
of the God of Jacob.
The Creator made all that is, and proclaimed that 'it is good.'
Creator, help us to discover in all you have made in Nature,
the good wisdom about the interconnectedness of all things,
about balance and about living in harmony.
We are not above nature, we are part of Creation; we live
by the same laws as all of nature and need to learn
from what God has made.
Creator, help us discover the power that lies in the wisdom
and understanding of our role in the Great Mystery, and in honoring
every living thing as a teacher.
Creator God, may our spirits be in harmony with yours.

Closing Hymn “How Great Thou Art” #77 (red hymnal)
Vs. 1 & 2
Unison Benediction Barbara Mandolfo, Liturgist
May the sun bring you new energy by day, may the moon softly restore
you by night,
May the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new
strength into your being,
May you walk gently through the world and know its beauty
all the days of your life. Amen.
