PRAYER OF PREPARATION Risen and Living God, in your endless love and grace, you have given us all we need. Open our weary eyes to moments when need meets resource and longing is satisfied in giving.

INTROIT The Risen Christ
Nigel Weaver
The risen Christ, who walks on wounded feet from garden tomb through darkened city street, unlocks the door of grief, despair, and fear, and speaks a word of peace to all who hear. May we, Christ’s body, walk and serve and stand with the oppressed in this and every land, till all are blessed and can a blessing be restored in Christ to true humanity. ________________________________________________________________________________________
