Good morning Friends, This prayer draws on two Quaker principles: Advices & queries and collective silent worship. The first is an invitation to the second and both are means of seeking the light of God. Thus, I respectfully invite you into prayer through query followed by silent worship. A&Q 27. Live adventurously. When choices arise, do you take the way that offers the fullest opportunity for the use of your gifts in the service of God and the community? Let your life speak. When decisions have to be made, are you ready to join with others in seeking clearness, asking for God's guidance and offering counsel to one another? 2019-04-08 House Journal Page 0488 A&Q 33. Bear witness to the humanity of all people, including those who break society's conventions … Try to discern new growing points in social and economic life.
