Centering Practice
We invite you to slow down, breathe, and connect with God, each other, and yourself. Begin by closing our eyes and taking several slow, deep breaths.
- Invite you to stand, give yourself a little space
- Stretch your arms high & wide
Call to Worship
Jesus invites us to this place,
to be authentic and open-hearted.
God is our Creator,
and the Author of Life.
May the Spirit mold and shape us
into a brand new creation. Amen.
Worship Songs
Let Everything That
Let everything that, everything that
Everything that has breath praise the Lord
Praise You in the morning
Praise You in the evening
Praise You when I’m young
And when I’m old
Praise You when I’m laughing
Praise You when I’m grieving
Praise You every
Season of the soul
If we could see how much You’re worth
Your power, Your might, Your endless love
Then surely we would never cease to praise
Praise You in the heavens
Join with the angels
Praising You forever and a day
Praise You on the earth now
Joining with creation
Calling all the nations to Your praise
If they could see how much You’re worth
Your power, Your might, Your endless love
Then surely they would never cease to praise
We will worship, we will worship
We will worship You with every breath

Scripture Reading
Job 39:19-21,24
19 Job, do you give horses their strength?
Do you put flowing manes on their necks?
20 Do you make them jump like locusts?
21 … They are filled with joy.
24 … They are so excited that they race over the ground.
This is the Word of the Lord.
Together: Thanks be to God.

Reflection questions
- Our fasting is a chance to get to the essence of who we are, who we want to be, and who God has called us to be
- Today, as you visit with these wonderful mini horses, invite you to consider: How can I bring compassion, tenderness, joy, and kindness into the world around me? How can I support what matters?
Blessing of One Another
Go in peace and go in joy;
Filled with wonder for this day.
Go in faith and go in love;
God will guide you on your way!
