8. Renewal Celebration


For Wendy Perkins, Stephen Robinson and disaster recovery chaplains
and for those who volunteer to help people get back on their feet.

We give thanks for the sweat and toil of this day.
In our tiredness, we smile
with faces of thanks and praise
for the Spirit of goodness that has sustained us.

We ask for traveling mercies as we return home,
knowing that our blood and tears left on this land
is mingled with the story of those who remain.

We praise God for the hope that is renewed this day.
We pray for the ongoing recovery
of this place and people.

(C) 2017, A.Koh-Butler
