The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
John 1:5 (NRSV)

Lord, help us to reach people for you as we proclaim the gospel in word and action,
Open our minds and hearts to confront the darkness with justice, and to embrace the broken and needy with love.
In the name of Jesus Christ who came not to be served but to serve.
Amen.
