NATIONAL INDIGENOUS DAY OF PRAYER

Sunday, June 21, 2026

Collect of the Day

Creator God, from you every family in heaven and earth takes its name. You have rooted and grounded us in your covenant love and empowered us by your Spirit to speak the truth in love, and to walk in your way towards justice and wholeness. Mercifully grant that your people, journeying together in partnership, may be strengthened and guided to help one another to grow into the full stature of Christ, who is our light and our life. Amen

Isaiah 40:25-31 Psalm 19 pg. 725

Philippians 4:4-9 John 1:1-18

Prayer over the Gifts

Creator, you bless us with many good gifts returned to you from your creation. Feed us with the Bread of Life, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Processional Hymn #34 All Who Believe and Are Baptized

Gradual Hymn #5 Christ Whose Glory Fills the Skies

(v. 1-2 before Gospel, v. 3 after)

Offertory Hymn #527 How Firm a Foundation

Communion Hymn #222 Al Shall Be Well

Recessional Hymn #529 God, My Hope on You Is Founded

Prayer after Communion

Holy One, you feed us with bread from heaven and the gifts of mother earth. In this communion, you have drawn us into your embrace and you call us to friendship with one another. You have given us the gift of reconciliation. May we who have tasted that gift from you, offer ourselves in peace and humility to one another. And may you always walk among us as friend. We pray this in your name. Amen.

Sending Forth

We turn to complete the circle and to look: To God, our Creator who cleanses our Mother Earth with snow, wind and rain; To Jesus Christ, the Peacemaker who fills us with the wideness of mercy and lovingly embraces all, and the Holy Spirit who inspires us to action:

COME HOLY SPIRIT, COME

In sunday school we talked about the creation story! As the storey was told we drew it. Then coloured it in and talked about what all God made. After that was done we had time to start making bead Lizards and will finish them on another sunday.	We continued our discussion on God's creations.	Today the Sunday school talked about the gifts of god and made bead work crosses. We experienced the gifts of patience and perseverance as beads refused to co operate but the results are beautiful!
Sunday school today made bodies of christ! Each child got to pick a body part and make enough for everyone.	Guess what todays Sunday school was about! 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. Everyone had amazing ideas. smile emoticon	This sunday was all about rainbows! What do rainbows mean to you? We had rainbow ponies, dresses, triangles, patterns and craziness.
