So many neighbors, nearby and around the world, will go to bed hungry tonight. When we look around, we see shadows of injustice, the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer — and someone somewhere will fall asleep under a bridge tonight… In the face of hunger and economic systems that keep poverty going…we light a candle of hope. 6:45 - CALL TO WORSHIP ONE: In the face of injustice, in the face of despair, we light a candle of hope… Many: May the light from this candle overcome shadows. ONE: May the light from this candle say to all that God’s hope is coming, Many: on earth as it already is in heaven! 7:10 - HYMN "My Hope Is Built" 9:39 - SHARING GOD’S PEACE Peace is an act of reconciliation and blessing, based on Christian practices described in the New Testament. It is not simply our peace, but the peace of Christ that we offer to one another. This is not the momentary peace that the world gives, but the peace that surpasses human understanding. Those of you worshiping online are invited to offer God's peace to one another in the comments. Those of you worshiping on-site are invited to turn and offer signs of God's peace to those around you. One: May the peace of Christ be with you. All: And also with you. One: Please share signs of God’s peace with one another. We Proclaim 10:35 - SCRIPTURE READING Psalm 62:5-8 Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. Jeremiah 29: 11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." 11:54 - ANTHEM "Comfort, Comfort, O My People" by Genevan Psalter 14:04 - SCRIPTURE READING Romans 8: 31-39 The Word of God for the People of God.
