VISION STATEMENT
South Peace United Church comes together in loving friendship to celebrate God's presence among us and to live out the love of Christ in community.
_ _ _ _
PRAYER :
God of surprising things, we gather in darkness, we gather in the shadow of crucifixion, we gather with the events of Holy Week resting on our hearts.
On this most mysterious of mornings, we join as a people of God. Like the women who found the stone rolled away. May we be observant to new insights, may we encounter this story anew within our hearts.
Open us to new understandings of how the reign of God might be. May we hold lightly the mystery of Easter morning!
Amen
GOOD NEWS
Let us receive the assurance of these prayers:
May unity, caring, joy, and truth be the fruit we bear
in the world. Amen
