We praise and thank you, Holy Spirit of God,
for the men and women you have called to be saints,
from your first fallible, frightened friends
who followed you to Jerusalem,
through the centuries of discovery and growth,
people of every class and temperament
down to the present day.
We praise you, Holy Spirit, for calling us
to serve you now,
for baptizing us to present you
in this broken world.
Help us to be Christ’s united body to heal and reconcile;
help us to share Christ’s life with everyone.
A New Zealand Prayer Book

For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do. And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Ron, the picture is a church in Hamburg that is housing refugees. I had a difficult time choosing an image. I’m trying to show the church being open to serving others. I admit it’s not that clear.
