Invocation (unison)
God, nations still prey on the meek of the world, and conflict turns parent from child. People spoil the
sweetness of earth, the brier and the thorn grow wild. God, bring to bloom your will for the earth, so
no one will hurt or destroy. Let wisdom and justice rule in the land and your people will go forth in joy.

Prayer of Dedication (unison)
God, strengthen feeble hands and knees. Encourage fainting hearts.
Seek and save the fearful. Deaf ears hear. Silent tongues sing away
their weeping. Blind eyes see the lifeless walking, running, and leaping.
Thank you, God.
