All Are Welcome - Hymn 641

Prayer
Pour out upon us, Heavenly Spirit, a love that ends all divisions, a unifying love that

stops us from expressing hate, division and divisiveness, and a love that transforms
our hearts to reflect the love that you have for all of your creation. How loving you are to
us and how loving we can be to one another if we trust in the God who gives love and

life to all! Let us be united in making this dream a reality. Amen.

Reflection Questions/Activity

What is the dream you hold for the world around you?
How might you lean into the love of God to bring your dream into reality?
How might Jesus be calling you to extend love into the life of another?

Who are the young people in your life? Think about your own children, your nieces,

nephews, cousins and neighbors. What is something special you can do for one of them
to reinforce God’s love in their life? Consider writing them a note, giving a special treat
or simply taking time to ask them about their day and telling them how you appreciate

them just for being themselves.
