Our texts this week are here
Our prayer for this week – “A liturgy before serving others” from Every Moment Holy (vol 1)
“All day long, as I watch the breeze toss these clothes in the wind, I imagine my prayers spinning away over the tops of the trees. This is good work, this prayer. This is good prayer, this work. So is digging in the garden, cleaning the chicken pens, washing the potatoes, doing the dishes. I know there are people who would give anything to do these things, people whose bodies have become too numb, too busy, too old or painful to do them. These are the practices that sustain life—not only my life and the lives entwined with mine, but the lives of all living beings.” Barbara Brown Taylor, Altar in the World (p. 46-47)
