Order of Service     The Price of Peace         Sunday, Dec. 10, 2023

Spirit of Life and Peace,

Our hearts cry out in light of ever-increasing war and pain,
We pray for the end of violence and hate,
And for the onset of peace.
We ask for blessings on those who are suffering.
We pray that all may live in freedom and harmony.
