  1. Faith and Innovation “Loving God, we move too quickly past the joy and celebration of Easter Sunday, forgetting your amazing power, forgetting the ways you call us to new life. Instead, like the disciples, we are locked up by our own fears, worried about what others might say, wondering where you are, Great God. Forgive us, and remind us again of your power to do the impossible, your power to make all things new, your power to give peace. Help us to translate our thoughts and words into acts of compassion and our faith into deeds. Amen” Prayer from Wayne Presbyterian Church An exercise in Faith and Innovation: Understanding, Possibilities and Action. Property of JB Innovation

Psalms 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God” Closing words Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” James 1:22 Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourself. Do what it says. Amazing Grace Prayer“Thank you God for helping us question our assumptions, look to see the big picture, the system and you in it, the possibilities, think beyond the problem even to see the opposite. Thank you for giving us courage to embrace those who disagree with us and the faith in ourselves, in you - and in the God in us - to act to pursue our purpose in the world.
