Dear Holy One, Source of Light and Love, we gratefully praise your name in every place where silence is honored and song rises like incense. Bless all houses of worship this week—cathedrals, chapels, meetinghouses, and monasteries—each a vessel of your presence.
As voices gather at 10:00 AM to sing hymns in the commons, let joy ripple through the air, binding us in harmony across traditions and generations. Let every note be a prayer, every breath a blessing.
As Friends settle into the Meeting for Worship at 10:30 AM, and as the faithful at St. Nicholas bow in reverence, may your Spirit move among us—in silence and chant, spoken ministry, and sacred liturgy. Let our worship be a living offering, rooted in humility, unity, and awe.
Bless the little ones in First Day School and all children learning love and reverence. May their hearts be nurtured, questions welcomed, and joy embraced as holy.
As introductions and announcements are shared at 11:30 AM, let us recognize each other as companions on the journey—each bearing stories, gifts, and sacred worth. Let our words be seasoned with grace and our intentions guided by peace.
As refreshments are served and fellowship unfolds, let laughter echo, kindness abound, and connections deepen. Let this time nourish our bodies and spirits.
As we enter the Meeting for Worship with a Concern for Business, may discernment be gentle, listening be deep, and decisions be led by love. Welcome all who gather—newcomers and longtime Friends alike—in person and online, with open hearts and shared purpose.
In all things this week, let us walk in unity, serve with joy, and rest in your blessing. Let our worship be wide enough to hold the world, and our prayers bold enough to shape it with love. Amen 💕✌️🙏
