God
is the dancer
Creation is the dance
Be still and contemplate the dance
Just look…
a star, a flower, a leaf, a bird, a stone
Look, listen, touch, taste, smell…
it won’t be long before you meet
the dancer in the dance

| General
Intercessions |
Let us pray that we will be true to the work that God wants
us to do on earth and tat we will not be afraid to change
in order that all forms of life will be respected
Let us pray for those who are hungry because we do not understand
how to care for the earth and its many ecosystems. Help
us to see the connection between our greed and their poverty.
Help us to admit that our ignorance and arrogance have caused
their suffering.
Let us pray for scientists and inventors that they will
hold onto wonder, awe and respect for nature and resist
any temptations to manipulate it for their own profit or
those they work for.
Let us pray for the gift of praise so that we can give thanks
and praise to our God who is the source of all life.

Prayer |
Loving
God we offer you
Every flower that ever grew
Every bird that ever flew
Every wind that ever blew
Every thunder rolling
Every Church bell tolling
Every leaf and sod
Every wave that ever moved
Every heart that ever loved
Every river dashing
Every cloud that swept o’er the skies
Every human joy and woe
Watch over us today as we strive to understand your word of
love
We ask this through Christ our Lord
Amen |
