Gus for the love of music to reach you amidst the heat.
For action on Climate change, may this heat dome, move us to deeply and faithfully engage the work.
For our friends at Northshore UCC, and Pastor Dave for restful break.
For the realm of God built on interdependence.
To dare to dream a better world, free of violence and injustice.
For safe travels for Margaret, for Connie & Rich V with Connie’s mother and siblings.

Holy God, in your mercy ... hear our prayers!
