In a world where it sometimes feels like we are powerless to create change, it is important to remember that there is always an opportunity to serve, to love, to resist injustice, and to make a difference. Every day, we have the chance to bring goodness into the lives of others, whether in big ways or small ones. This message echoes the prayer we shared last Sunday—a call for our leaders to make decisions that reflect God’s commandments of life, justice, and peace. But we also prayed for ourselves, that we would be people who work together to end violence and to build a world that is safe and just for all.
