*CALL
TO WORSHIP:
Oh God,
We thank you for fathers near
Fathers with strong arms
And fathers with feeble knees
Present at table and at bathtub and at bedtime for prayers.
Thank you, God, for fathers near.
We thank you, O God, for fathers far away
Fathers who ache for their families
Fathers absent because of war,
Or disease,
Or despair,
Fathers who are present and absent at the same time.
Thank you, God, for fathers far away.
We thank you, O God, for caring communities
Where mothers fill in for fathers
And fathers fill in for mothers
And grandparents put on the apron and the towel.
Where aunts and uncles, and those who are absolutely no kin at all
Make our communities a home
Fit for habitation.
Amen.

Jesus
Stills a Storm
On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, ‘Let
us go across to the other side.’ And leaving the crowd behind, they took him
with them in the boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him. A
great gale arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was
already being swamped. But he was in the stern, asleep on the
cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, ‘Teacher, do you not care that
we are perishing?’ He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said
to the sea, ‘Peace! Be still!’ Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm.
He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?’ And
they were filled with great awe and said to one another, ‘Who then is this,
that even the wind and the sea obey him?’

Daily Prayer
Please
use this guided prayer as a way to pray daily for the whole world.
Together,
let us pray
For the people of this congregation…
For
those who suffer and those in trouble…
For the concerns of this local community…
For the
world, it’s peoples, and it’s leaders…
For the
Church universal – it’s leaders, it’s members, and
it’s mission
In communion with the saints…Amen
