"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved." (v. 12)
A prayer that we might make Jesus' story our own
Storytelling Jesus,
You invite us to make your story, our story.
Your story reminds us God so loves the whole world.
Teach us, Jesus, your arts of storytelling, singing and dancing that open up paths of healing and renewal.
Help us, Jesus, to lean into and learn from your story;
to make it our own, so justice, loving kindness and mercy may join hands around the world that God so loves. Amen.
Karen McBride, Warden, Methodist Diaconal Order
A prayer that God might bless our calling - Alternative Prayer
To our calling, O God, grant your blessing, to our souls your strength, to our suffering your fortitude, to our darkness your light, to our faith your joy. Amen.
Benjamin Rhodes, Methodist Itinerant (1743-1815)
