Your kingdom come on earth as in heaven.
The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.
The world and all who live in it.
The Lord is the King of glory.
This world belongs to God!

From the beginning,
through all the crises of our times,
Until the kingdom fully comes,
This world belongs to God!

God is King: Let the earth be glad!
Christ is victor: his rule has begun!
The Spirit is at work: creation is renewed!
This world belongs to God!

7And he called his twelve disciples together and sent them out two by two, with power to cast out demons. 8-9He told them to take nothing with them except their walking sticks — no food, no knapsack, no money, not even an extra pair of shoes or a change of clothes.

10“Stay at one home in each village — don’t shift around from house to house while you are there,” he said. 11“And whenever a village won’t accept you or listen to you, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave; it is a sign that you have abandoned it to its fate.”

12So the disciples went out, telling everyone they met to turn from sin. 13And they cast out many demons and healed many sick people, anointing them with olive oil.

Confession

Yet as we consider our days, we confess:
Father, we fail to trust your goodness and might.
Jesus, we don’t live with you as our King.
Spirit, we doubt your work in this world.
Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy.

Silence

God forgives us, God sustains us.
We are being transformed by love.
Peace and grace are here.
We walk on
We walk on together to more truth,
More justice, more love.

Your Kingdom come on earth as in heaven.
Amen.
