Dear ones,

I am away this week. To go with our sermon series on Hope In Anxious Times, I have a poem for you from one of my ministerial colleagues, Rev. Mellisa Carvill Ziemer, the co-Executive Director of the UU Ministers Association.  

A Prayer For These Times

Beloved,
help us to remember you
especially when fear and uncertainty are near and despair is coming close.

Beloved,
help us to recognize you
in every act of kindness and every splash of beauty.

Beloved,
help us to reconnect to you, to ourselves, to one another
again and again, every time the bonds break.

Beloved, 
help us to reflect your love
through all our actions and with the mirrors we hold up to the world.

Amen and Blessed Be
