Charge and Benediction from Aug 16: Jonah - the Angry Prophet (Rev. Thomas Dummermuth)

  

From God we cannot hide.

And that is a fact.

Jonah tried,

Jonah failed.

 

Learning his lesson

may we go from here

relishing God’s presence in our lives,

noticing both:

what is going on in us and around us

letting God be our guide and a blessing.

May this be a week when you are fully aware

of God with you each step of the way.

 

 

May the One

who created you in God’s image

give you the grace to

turn your anger and outrage

to justice and compassion;

transform your pain

so that you may transmit love;

strengthen your bodies

and your minds and your hearts

for the long, hard, holy work

of reconciliation and justice.

May God use your whole being,

through the power of the Holy Spirit,

to bring about the Reign of God

In the name of Jesus Christ!
