Prayer
O God, whose summer schedule never includes vacation from your sovereign surveillance over the world, and your merciful vigilance over us in daily life, we are comforted by the knowledge. We are challenged in response to not abandon our own attention to the responsibilities of which we are stewards. Grant your blessings to us as we partake gratefully of the gift of food and share fully in table fellowship. Then go with us as we go out to meet the opportunities for service awaiting us in places unknown at the moment. Amen.
