2019 Jubilee liturgy: “The vision is out there …”
GATHERING
ENTRANCE
REFLECTION
The Gospel will be performed where two or three are gathered together, listening for the Word of God, feeling the breath of the Spirit dancing in and among and through them, feeding one another so that they can become what they already are: members of the Body of Christ, going out to perform the Good News of God’s love for the healing of the world.
Deborah Sokolove, Performing the Gospel, p. 171
2019 Recommitment liturgy: “Persistence in Adversity”
GATHERING
ENTRANCE
REFLECTION
Joy abandons me. There is no cure for my grief. My heart is sick….
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved….
O that my head were a spring of water and my eyes a fountain of tears,
so that I might weep day and night for my poor people….
The Holy One says, Build houses to live in; plant gardens and eat what they grow….
Seek the welfare of the city….
Pray to the Holy One on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find yours.
Jeremiah 8:18,20, 9:10 and 29:5,7

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.
