A Palestinian flag flies in a camp at Standing Rock.
A witness to solidarity.
A reminder that all struggles for justice are intertwined.
A symbol of unity.

The Rev. Essie Koenig-Reinke celebrates communion at the service where she was ordained as a minister of the Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). She was ordained by the Presbytery of Baltimore at Dickey Memorial Presbyterian Church (DMPC).
If ever anyone was ready for ordained ministry (and most folks who reach that point are), Essie was. Her ministry at DMPC and beyond os a blessing.

A prayer for patience and grace
God of infinite patience,
God of unquenchable grace,
help my impatience,
touch my ungraciousness,
When I become frustrated with,
or angered by,
or annoyed at,
another person,
remind me that person
is your beloved child,
made in your image.
Strengthen my patience;
renew my grace,
that I might find ways,
beyond what I perceive as my capacities,
to act in kindness and
to demonstrate love
that we might walk together humbly with you
and work for justice.
I pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

AdventWord 2022 – December 1 #make
A lot of my “making” lately has revolved around food. I cook more than I ever imagined I would. The colors and textures of this breakfast are intriguing.
Writing of prayers is a form of making, I suppose. As is writing at work.
God makes all things. And God makes all things new. And when we make, we live into being created in the image of God.
