Reflection

“Community exists for the sake of belonging and takes its identity from the gifts, generosity, and accountability of its citizens. It is not defined by its fears, its isolation, or its penchant for retribution.”  –Peter Block

Prayer

Unifying Spirit,

People are transformed by the genuine experience of community. When we surmount our fears and the forces of isolation, when we insist on truly taking care of each other and becoming responsible for the needs of our neighbors, we are all transformed as a result. For those of us who share this ministry together and are shaping its culture each day, may belonging and generosity and accountability rule and reign in our hearts, so that this ministry of healing might stand as a community of hope to a world in need. Amen.

Call to Action

Reflect thoughtfully today on the way my role and function invites me to contribute to something bigger than my specific scope of responsibilities. I am poised to help build an experience of community, belonging, and caregiving!
