    2 Corinthians 4:  For we know that if our earthly dwelling, a tent, should be destroyed, we have a building from God, a dwelling not made with hands, eternal in heaven.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    O God, we thank you for the fact that you have inspired men and women in all nations and in all cultures.  We call you different names: some call you Allah; some call you Elohim; some call you Jehovah; some call you Brahma; some call you the Unmoved Mover. But we know that these are all names for one and the same God.  Grant that we will follow you and become so committed to your way and your kingdom that we will be able to establish in our lives and in this world a brother and sisterhood, that we will be able to establish here a kingdom of understanding, where men and women will live together as brothers and sisters and respect the dignity and worth of every human being. In the name and spirit of Jesus. Amen.

    Exodus 24: Taking the book of the covenant, he read it aloud to the people, who answered, "All that the LORD has said, we will heed and do."

    Hebrews 9:  For this reason he is mediator of a new covenant: . . .

    Mark 14: While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is my body."  Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

    Deuteronomy 4:  This is why you must now know, and fix in your heart, that the LORD is God in the heavens above and on earth below,  and that there is no other.

    Romans 8:  For those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.  For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a Spirit of adoption, through whom we cry, "Abba, Father!"

    Matthew 28: And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow 

    Between the crosses, row on row,

    That mark our place: and in the sky

    The larks still bravely singing fly

    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

     

    We are the dead: Short days ago,

    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

    Loved and were loved: and now we lie

    In Flanders fields!

     

    Take up our quarrel with the foe!

    To you from falling hands we throw

    The torch, Be yours to bear it high!

    If ye break faith with us who die

    We shall not sleep tho’ poppies blow

    In Flanders Field.

     

    In Flanders Fields  By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

    Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915 during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium

    Acts of the Apostles 2Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

    1 Corinthians 12:  To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.

    John 20:  Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.

    1 John 3:  And his commandment is this: we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another just as he commanded us.

    John 15:  I am the vine, you are the branches.  Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    Grant us, Lord God,

    a vision of your world as your

    love would have it: 

    a world where the weak are protected,

    and none go hungry or poor; 

    a world where the riches of creation are

    shared, and everyone can enjoy them; 

    a world where different races and cultures

    live in harmony and mutual respect; 

    a world where peace is built with justice,

    and justice is guided by love.

    Give us the inspiration and courage to

    build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Amen.
