This worship collection has been curated to support the Community Resilience Hub.
During these troubled times, we need to reconnect to the sources of our strength and our resilience.
Prayers
Prayer for Resilience
Remind us that resilience is in our bones, that peace will prevail on earth
Seeking That Which Unites Us
May we remember we are a people of resilience. We have faced uncertainty before; we have weathered storms; we have been consumed by flames; we have risen like the phoenix from the ashes. And we will again.
Readings
Bearable Together

Meditations
The Holy Work of Showing Up
You are loved beyond belief. You are enough, you are precious, your work and your life matter, and you are not alone. You are part of a “we,” a great cloud of witnesses living and dead who have insisted that this beautiful, broken world of ours is a blessing…
The Strength of Water
Settle your mind upon the strength, the power that is yours. Draw that strength into your heart. Draw it up into your soul. As we gather together the many waters of this community, we need each of your power, each of your resilience, each of your love to make us whole.
