Dear Friends,
We hope that you are safe and well.
Today's Meditation is a reflection by Ann Kansfield on "Praying All the Time: Let the tiny prayers, the big messy prayers, the silent yearning prayers and the in-action prayers be enough, God--for you and for me." And God said, "Amen--Let it be so!"
We invite you to join us as we commit ourselves to working tirelessly to end systemic and structural racism in our society, in the church, in healthcare, in the workplace--wherever it shows up so that everyone may come to have more abundant life. May this meditation nourish our contemplative-active hearts and sustain all of us in action.
