The document contains a prayer asking God to comfort and convict those who are divided by race, status, gender or experiencing despondency and despair, and to help confess what God has done through Christ. It also contains information about an upcoming youth group meeting on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month from 6:30-8:00pm. Finally, it includes a prayer asking God, who dwells in heaven but walks among those who refuse to see God, to hold out a hand to those who rebel and free all from the chains that bind them so they may be healed by Christ.

1. A Prayer for the People of God
God our refuge and hope,
when race, status, or gender divide us,
when despondency and despair haunt and afflict us,
when community lies shattered:
comfort and convict us with the stillness
of your presence, that we may confess
all you have done, through Christ to whom
we belong and in whom we are one.
Amen.

18. Prayer
Most holy and eternal God,
you dwell in the heights of heaven,

Hold out your hand to those who rebel against you,

that we may be healed by Christ
and proclaim his saving deeds
to all the world.
Amen.
