Goodbye Scorpions; Hello Wholeness

*Call to Worship

Jealously clinging to our narrative, we release scorpions, and
let our God-ordained wholeness slip from our grasp.
God forgive us. Inspire us to be One.

Forgetting that power is about compassionate caretaking, we mark our territory. 
Instead, make us “like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.” (Psalm 72:6 NRSV)

The elements of division run deep in human history.
But God’s dream for creation is wholeness and oneness.

Forgive us. Inspire us. Make us like showers over the earth.
May we dream with God in this hour leaving closer to wholeness and oneness.
