LET US PRAY: Lord our God, kindle true light in our hearts and minds, that we may recognize what we are and become free of everything false and dishonest. That we may show love to those who were called “Unloved,” and to those who were called “Not-My-People”. Let this light of righteousness, this judgment, go through all nations, that people no longer use empty words when they talk of “mercy” and “truth.” We thank you that however painful many of our experiences are, we still say, “Our merciful God has spread out his wings to protect us through our needs!” Amen.

PRAYERS FOR: At 12 noon each Friday: about bringing justice, fairness and acceptance for our LGBT brothers and sisters. We are asking you to pray for equality before the law everyone and equal protection and treatment for all of God’s children.
