This month’s virtue: UNITY
- I will make everyone feel welcomed
and appreciated.
- I will take some time to learn about
the similarities and differences in my
community.
- I will empower people with my
words, not put them down by calling
them names.
Prayer for Unity
God of harmony and unity,
You want us all to work together to build your kingdom.
May our ears hear your voice clearly
May our eyes see your beauty in all
May our understanding break down walls of fear and prejudice.
May we make our world
A place of friendship
A place of belonging
A place of welcome,
Where everyone feels safe.
Where everyone has a place,
Where all are united in You, dear God.
Amen.
