'Occupants of a parallel universe'
PRAYER OF CONFESSION today at church:
Lord of Life, we come to a place that is set apart from the world. There are no screens in here; there are no commercials in here; there are no offers to buy anything for three easy payments in here. We are in a sanctuary, and that means we should consider ourselves to be occupants of a parallel universe. In the light of this room, all faces are beautiful. In the light of this room, all children are precious. In the light of this room, there are no strangers. May it be so this morning, and every morning -- inside the sanctuary and out. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth our Teacher and Lord we pray, Amen.
