Opening Prayer
Gracious God… as we pray that truth and justice will prevail in our nation… we come this morning to draw from the everlasting well of your grace and truth so that in these challenging days our faith will be strong and our Christian witness will bold, clear, and overflowing with the joy of eternity. Be present with us now and refresh our minds and spirits for the great work of making disciples for the transformation of the world. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
