“DWELL IN MY LOVE” SUNDAY, JANAURY 23
Dear Lord, help us to search our own hearts and seek forgiveness and reconciliation for racist attitudes and beliefs to which we have given credence in our lives. Help us not to speak or act in ways that demean our brothers and sisters.
Help us to speak up and act when we hear or see racism demonstrated in any way. Help us to create inclusive, welcoming committees where we live, work and worship as we pledge to work to eradicate the sin of racism wherever it exists, in our hearts, in our church, on our jobs and in our communities.
Give us the courage as Christian disciples to work to dismantle racism in the wider community. With your grace we will dwell together in God’s love with all of our brothers and sisters.
We make this prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen.
