“The Joy of the Journey” with Rev. Marylou Palmer
Join Rev. Marylou Palmer this Sunday as she kicks off our Next Steps Theme for May sharing her insights on steps we can use as we establish our New Normal. Marylou reminds us that Transitions begin with endings and close with New Beginnings. So as we transition from preoccupation with the pandemic to a new normal we are establishing our consciousness to harvest our Good.

PRAYERS
Opening Prayer
Deep Listening
God of silence and God of all sound,
help me to listen.
Help me to do the deep listening to the sounds of my soul,
waiting to hear your soft voice calling me deeper into you.
Give me attentive ears
that begin to separate the noise from the sounds that are you;
you who have been speaking to me
and through me my whole life,
for so long that you can seem like background noise.
Today help me hear you anew.

Community Prayer
Bodhisattva Prayer for Humanity
May I be a guard for those who need protection
A guide for those on the path
A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood
May I be a lamp in the darkness
A resting place for the weary
A healing medicine for all who are sick
A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles
And for the boundless multitudes of living beings
May I bring sustenance and awakening
Enduring like the earth and sky
Until all beings are freed from sorrow
And all are awakened.
Shantideva, Indian Buddhist sage 700 A.D.
