Prayers of the People, Lent 5B

Picture
Grieving communities
mourn the loss
of their children
and young adults,
senseless violence and carelessness
taking the lives of innocents
in their prime.

Empowered teens
walk out
to remember their peers,
to call for reform ...
a plea to be heard,
to be valued,
to be protected.

Peurto Ricans
walk for miles
to carry water
and walk back home
to darkness,
still waiting,
six months after a hurricane
to be restored.

The exiled
remember and
call upon the name of
the Covenant-Maker,
the Covenant-Keeper,
the Source of Love.

Be present with your people,
Lord,
remember your covenant with them,
restore to them the hope of salvation,
and bring your exiled people home. ​

    Julie served as a Commissioned Ruling Elder in a Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation for thirteen years. She now absolutely delights in filling the pulpit for colleagues upon request, and looks forward to opportunities to do so. Her reformed perspective is sprinkled with humor and presented with authenticity, and she is open to creatively deconstructing worship as a means to helping congregants explore worship in transformational ways.

    Julie and her husband, Ray, are parents of three adult children, and grandparents of four energetic and imaginative little people. She is an introverted-with-enough-extrovert-balance-to-keep-her-social, perfectionistic-with-hopper-tendencies, time and goal-oriented, kaleidoscopic, and insatiably curious child of God.
