The Promise of a New Earth: Children of God Storybook Bible, Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu

July 4, 2020

God promises us a new heaven and a new earth.  God shows John a vision of this new heaven and earth.  But, God does not created that new heaven and new earth alone.  God shows us visions of how life could be, and it’s up to us to co-create that new heaven and new earth with one another and with God.  That’s why Mayflower gives money and time to lots of differing organizations that share similar faith values.  Some of those organizations are ISAIAH, Beacon, Interfaith Power and Light, VEAP, Trust Builders, and so many more.  Through partnering with folks, we can work together to create God’s dream of justice on earth.  And, that is so awesome!


Daily Prayers

In the morning when we wake up: May today bring joy in new ways. Amen.

At mealtimes: Dear God, thank you for health. Thank you for the earth. Thank you for the hands and hearts that made this food. May the earth and your people be healthy. Amen.

Bedtime: Dear God, thank you for resting from the top of my head down to my toes. Your love will be with me even in my sleep. Amen.
