    A Prayer Service For Grace-Filled Civic Engagement

    This Contemplative Prayer Service for Grace-filled Civic Engagement was prepared by the Just Love team of the Florida Bahamas Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America for their 2024 Fall Conference on Ministry in September of 2024. It has been modified with permission for this podcast. You will hear 14 voices in this prayer service. Our ages are 10 to 96 years young! We are  U.S. citizens, and legal guests of this country. We are a people of different political views, cultures and ethnicities. We are a part of the many voices that make up the body of Christ, just as many voices make for the great country we live in. You are invited, to find a space wherein you can join the voices you are about to hear. This may be by yourself on your patio, or deck. It may be in your car as you commute to work. It may be in the quiet of the beginning or end of a day. Or perhaps that space is physically with others. Gathered together, you reflect openly, offering one another a space for reflection on what grace-filled civic engagement looks like to one another. With those on this podcast, or in the company of others, listen with each other. Faithfully ponder the life in Christ we are called into together. Be challenged together, but be hopeful together. One more thing to note, there is a healthy dose of silent space embedded within this prayer service. Use that time and space to listen to what the creator of time and space may be saying to you. All biblical references are from the New Revised Standard Version translation.
