Creativity and possibility in small congregations. Newer posts →. Prayer for Lent 2, Year A. March 15, 2014. Keeper of your people,. You neither slumber nor sleep,. But hold us always.

Breathe into our anxious sleeplessness. You call our names. As you called our brother Abram. To places we do not know. March 4, 2014.
