Sustaining Creator God,
Help us steward the resources for the use of all people.
Bless us as we go forth from this place –
to North, East, South, and West…..
Preaching with our lives.
Across the lands and waters of the world,
Let Justice and Peace Flow
Rippling through the Great Lakes region,
Let Justice and Peace Flow
From shore to shore of Lake Michigan,
Let Justice and Peace Flow
Through the watershed of the Grand River,
Let Justice and Peace Flow
Here where we stand at Marywood along
the banks of Coldbrook Creek,
Let Justice and Peace Flow
Let Justice and Peace Flow from the waters of baptism
into our hearts and out through our actions.
Send us forth with a common purpose in this Season of Creation.
May our Community efforts,
our Camaraderie as we work together caring for Mother Earth,
find us walking gently on this holy ground,
treating all our kin with reverence and
as pure gifts from you, our Gracious God.
Amen.
