Proclaiming the Virtue of Others

"When the colors in the election map are gone. When the pundits and politicians are back home. When the song of the celebrations is stilled. When the people have returned to their communities, the work begins: To find the lost. To heal the broken. To feed the hungry. To bring peace to the land and rebuild the nations.”
– Rafe Ellis, adapted from the writing of Howard Thurman
Affirmative prayer: "Today, in the spirit of the prophet Isaiah, I bring good tidings to the afflicted. I bind up the brokenhearted and comfort those who mourn. I proclaim the virtue of others and encourage them to know again that their character and strength are anchored in the love of God. Amen.” – Rev. Scott
