Social Justice Minute: Medicare for All – Judy Kraft
Responsive Reading: The Gift of Patience
(Minister): When we are overwhelmed with the world and cannot see our way clear,
(All): Grant us the gift of Patience
When life seems a struggle between frenzy and exhaustion
Grant us the gift of Patience
When today seems a punishment and tomorrow a torment,
Grant us the gift of Patience
When the line seems too long and the light too slow to change,
Grant us the gift of Patience
May we learn how to cope like those who live one day, one moment at a time through pain, suffering, and sorrow,
Grant us the gift of Patience
(All): Spirit of Life, grant us the patience to extend grace to ourselves and to others. Help us to take a deep breath, to count to 10, and to stop to smell the roses that help to make life beautiful and fragrant. Grant us the gift of Patience. Amen.
Moment of Silence & Candle Lighting

PASTORAL CARE INFORMATION
As a reminder, Rev. Dan is always available for Pastoral Care. That simply means providing a listening ear, an encouraging word, or a calming presence when life’s many challenges come your way.
He is available not only during regular office hours and by appointment, but also 24/7 for emergencies. What might be some reasons to contact him for Pastoral Care? Reasons include the following:
Encouragement through health problems
Hospitalization
Family tragedy
Emotional or spiritual counseling (I am NOT a licensed mental health therapist, though)
Personal struggles
Relationship conflicts
Life questions or challenges
Weddings
Funerals
You can easily reach Rev. Dan via text or phone. That phone number is 561-628-6954.
Pastoral Care is one of the most integral functions of a minister, and it is always confidential.
