Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
May the One who blessed our ancestors bless these souls in their sacred work.
On this day after bittersweet Memorial Day, may the One who blessed our ancestors bless these souls with the courage to hold complexity. May they pursue a bright future, while remembering those at risk of being left behind. May they find opportunity in diversity. God, grant them the strength to hold complexity in Your complicated world.
On this day after Memorial Day, remembering those who died in service, may the One who blessed our ancestors bless these souls in their service. Grant them the energy to serve with compassion. May they see Your divine face in the face of each person they serve, and in their own reflections. As these souls serve those created in Your
image, may their compassion and mercy shine.
God, thank You for the opportunity to serve Your varied and beautiful creation.
