Date: 2020-07-26

In worship, we participate in the Biblical practice of lament: crying out and bringing our complaints to God.  In trust, we bring our whole self to God.  We join in Confession and experience Forgiveness.  And we learn from Job, entering into suffering and loss.

Scripture: Job 1:1-22

Prayer of the Day is "Blessing for Empathy" written by Meta Herrick Carlson in her book Ordinary Blessings: Prayers, Poems, and Meditations for Everyday Life.  2020 Fortress Press, Minneapolis, MN.

The Body Prayer was originally created by the contemplative Order of Julian of Norwich. Father John Julian developed the four words to describe their silent contemplative approach to prayer. Father Ethan Jewett developed the body positions related to the four words.
