Today’s Liturgy:
Psalm 71: 1-6 (NRSV)
1 In you, O Lord, I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
2 In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me and save me.
3 Be to me a rock of refuge,
a strong fortress,[a] to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel.
5 For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
6 Upon you I have leaned from my birth;
it was you who took me from my mother’s womb.
My praise is continually of you.
Prayer
Loving God,
We pray for the people of Ukraine,
for all those suffering or afraid,
that you will be close to them and protect them.
We pray for world leaders,
for compassion, strength and wisdom to guide their choices.
We pray for the world
that in this moment of crisis,
we may reach out in solidarity
to our brothers and sisters in need.
May we walk in your ways
so that peace and justice
become a reality for the people of Ukraine
and for all the world. Amen.

Benediction
Beloved Friends, thank you for abiding in this moment of prayer. As you go forth:
Serve your God with patience and passion.
Be deliberate in enacting your faith.
Be steadfast in celebrating the Spirit’s power.
And may peace be your way in the world. Amen.
(a prayer by Glen E. Rainsley, 20th century. Taken from UMC Book of Worship, 559).
