If you’re reading this, you lived to see the new year.
This is no small matter! Your life makes a difference in
the universe, whether or not you embrace your God-
given power. May this prayer accompany your initial
steps into the future.
God of all time,
help us enter the New Year quietly,
thoughtful of who we are to ourselves and to others,
mindful that our steps make an impact
and our words carry power.
May we walk gently.
May we speak only after we have listened well.
Creator of all life,
help us enter the New Year reverently,
aware that you have endowed
every creature and plant, every person and habitat
with beauty and purpose.
May we regard the world with tenderness.
May we honor rather than destroy.
Lover of all souls,
help us enter the New Year joyfully,
willing to laugh and dance and dream,
remembering our many gifts with thanks
and looking forward to blessings yet to come.
May we welcome your lavish love.
May we cast off the small, vindictive god our fears
have made.
As part of their Happy Birthday Jesus Celebration, our
Confirmation Candidates enjoyed a lively game of
Confirmation Jeopardy! They Rocked it!
