Hear Our Prayer:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

God scatters the seeds of reconciliation and love, and waits\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So much of it lands on flat pathways or rocky roads and won\u2019t take root\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God scatters the seeds of healing and hope, and waits\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shallowness and fear claim the seeds and they cannot live.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God scatters the seeds of redemption and peace, and waits\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the places of deep growth where the seed will cast down strong roots.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome this day to a seed-scattering station!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

May our hearts be the rich soil in which God\u2019s love takes root. AMEN.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing In The Sheaves:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,

    Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;

    Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,

    We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.\n
      \n
    • Refrain:<\/span>

      Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,

      We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves;

      Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,

      We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows,

      Fearing neither clouds nor winter\u2019s chilling breeze;

      By and by the harvest, and the labor ended,

      We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
