As we Celebrate and raise funds for what MCC does globally with "water",
let us ponder the following reading:
Now go from this place as people bathed in the muddy water of God's
transforming grace.
And as you go
may God give you the grace never to sell yourself short;
grace to risk something big for something good;
grace to remember that the world is too dangerous
for anything but truth and too small for anything but love.
So, may God take your minds and think through them;
may God take your lips and speak through them;
may God take your hands and work through them;
may God take your hearts and set them on fire.
Amen
