*Prayer of the Day (All Together)

Holy God, we come into your midst with praise on our lips and songs of joy in our hearts. We come to stand firm in our conviction: that good is stronger than evil, that love is stronger than hate, that truth will ultimately win the day. Keep our hearts focused on things that are worthy of praise and bless us with your peace—a peace that passes all understanding. Keep our minds grounded in Christ Jesus that we may know the joy of your justice and your righteousness. Amen
