Reflection 

1 Corinthians 12:12-14 – 

"Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ…we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many." 

 

God our Loving Father, 

We ask you to guide us in our journey to learn and flourish together in harmony. 

Help us to grow in understanding that we are all members of a community and that, working together, we can achieve great things. 

 

Like a patchwork quilt, each part of the whole contributes its own beauty through its uniqueness; you created us each differently and every individual has their own special gifts and talents. 

 

When stitched together, like the patchwork quilt, we are stronger and even more wonderful. 

 

Thank you for giving us the gift of one another. 

We ask that you keep the people in our community safe and healthy. 

Guide us in our work and play and help us to remember that every day is a brand new day, full of possibility and opportunity. 

 

Amen.
