Here we seek to grow.
Here we seek to be courageous allies.
Here we seek to be open and affirming.
Here we seek to honor each other’s story.
Here we seek to welcome each other’s mistakes.
In our lives, we may be imprisoned by many things.
Jesus’ declaration that he had come to “set the prisoner free” can be interpreted for all of us, whether or not we’ve ever experienced being behind literal prison bars.
In our day, we will hear Resurrection Stories that move from chains to freedom.
We will reflect on how we can each step into freedom from whatever binds us.
Rise up in us and we will rise
from death into a newfound life:
from bondage freed, from harm released,
from illness healed, as one in peace.
When all is lost our hearts are warmed,
our hope restored, our lives transformed.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
