God reconciled us to himself
(2 Corinthians 5:18)

    • God makes a covenant with Abraham (Genesis 17:1-8)
    • The world has seen the victory of God (Psalm 98)

Prayer

Merciful God, out of love
you made a covenant with your people.
Empower us to resist
all forms of discrimination.
Let the gift of your loving covenant
fill us with joy and inspire us to greater unity.
Through Jesus Christ, our risen Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit
now and forever.
Amen.
