dreamflowerI was off from work this Sunday. We had Communion this Sunday. I thought today I'd share the Prayer of Confession we used this morning:
Gracious and loving God,
forgive us for seeing others from only a human point of view,
with assumptions and prejudices that don't honor what you have created.
Open our eyes to see afresh
the signs of your new creation through Christ,
until we are reconciled with you, with ourselves and with others.
And here is the hymn we sang for communion:
We also had a potluck dinner after the service, which was really nice, as I have missed out due to work for a few months. (They have it on the first Sunday of the month.)

I was just a kid and the only two things I remember are that they had moving sidewalks (!!) and seeing the Pieta. I still remember the awe I felt even though I was only 8 and no-one was explaining to me what a masterpiece it was. But in some ways it is still the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
