Passionate Involvement



'Grow in service through passionate involvement in our community and with other faith communities.'


 O God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry;

When I have work, help me to remember the jobless;

When I have a home, help me to remember those who have no home at all;

When I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer;

And remembering

Help me to destroy my complacency;

Bestir my compassion,

And be concerned enough to help;

By word and by deed,

Those who cry out for what we take for granted.

Amen.


Samuel F. Pugh
