Jesse Tree – December 3rd
Genesis Chapters 6,7 and 9 – God’s promise to Noah.
Righteous and living God, constant and faithful,
you love mercy and hate injustice,
in the colours of the rainbow
you make known your eternal covenant love for your creation.
Stir us from apathy and ignorance
to desire all that you will for your creation;
that prepares the way for the coming Kingdom
of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Creator God, your love for your children knows no limits,

and by your power, give us the will to forgive
through the saving grace of your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
