Reflection and Renewal: Do Justice, Love Kindness (based on Luke 18:18-23)

adapted from Service Sunday
by Beth Merrill 

God, we must admit that we can no longer feign ignorance.

You have indeed shown us what you require:

• to do justice - seeking peace & reconciliation, standing with the marginalized and forgotten 
• to love kindness - showing compassion and unconditional caring for those in need 

God of the oppressed, protector of the poor, liberator of the unfree,
help us to live our lives in service to our neighbors and so in service to you.

Amen
