First Presbyterian Church of Big Flats New York

April 4, 2021 EASTER

Forgive our need to be in control, the agenda for each day written by our hands, each moment mapped out... and presented as a fait accompli. Grant us confidence to let go, be free and available, follow where you lead to new challenges and opportunities, each day lived out in humble service gratitude and faith. .

O Creator and Loving Master May I rise each morning with your purpose May I sow the fields of my world with the seeds of love May I sing the song of reconciliat...ion May I pluck the harp strings of compassion May I follow the Shepherd who leads me to justice May I walk in righteousness and kindness May I blanket my world with peace Amen Prayer and photo by Beth Maxwell Boyle

Merciful God, you sent prophets to preach repentance and prepare the way. Give us grace to heed their warnings, that we may greet with joy the coming of Jesus Christ our redeemer. Amen. #Advent #pcusa
