We sojourn together. We seek truth, not gossip. We will speak, act, and live honestly and honourably upon your Ancient Path, and greet each other in a good way.

We cannot hide from your presence, O LORD. Even in our deepest loneliness, you reach us with words of comfort and compassion. When we feel lost and cut off, we will call out to you and find your messengers of hope.

Today, we invite you to reread, rest, and reflect on the prayers of the past week.

Psalm 26
Job 7:1-21
Luke 16:14-18

We gather together in an ascent to your sacred prayer space. We sing as we come to you songs of our ancestors throughout the generations. Before we knew you, even when we did not acknowledge you, your blessings and protection showered upon us. We see you smiling towards us as we praise you.

The seasons turn; we stand on the precipice between summer and autumn. Leaves also turn, as ancestor trees remember the chill that has returned in the night air and daytime breezes. They prepare by drawing inward and letting their foliage fall. You remind us again of your statutes and decrees, encouraging us to keep them with us as we prepare to cross the threshold into autumn.

Today, we invite you to reread, rest and reflect on the prayers of the past week.
