  • A close-up photo of one cosmos flower in a group of several. The flower’s striated petals are mostly violet, but are a deeper reddish purple near the many yellow stamens in the flower’s center.
    Ours is the work of creation. Ours is the work of inviting people into an irresistible movement, rooted in our belief that a new world is possible. And the center of our work is love, and joy, and the spirit of abundance.

  • The painting “Our Banner in the Sky” (1861) by Frederic Edwin Church. The lower third of the painting is a dark landscape with hills, trees, and a river. The top two-thirds consists of the sky, with streaks of clouds colored red by the light of the setting sun, and a patch of starry night sky visible. A limbless tree trunk rises on the left, and combined with the red and white lines of clouds and the patch of starry sky, gives the impression of the flag of the United States flying on a flagpole.
    Oh Spirit of Life and Love, fortify us with the wisdom and tenacity of our ancestors to continue toward the promise in the founding documents of our nation: a nation where all of us are created as equals and are endowed with the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

  • A young Black person wearing a dark blue-black durag and a white T-shirt faces away from us, with their left hand raised in a fist and their right hand holding a hand-drawn sign on white paperboard. The sign’s text, in reddish-brown ink, says: “Liberty & Justice for ALL!” The person is standing in front of a small group of people, too blurry to make out distinctly.
    Our faith also gives us hope. A faith that knows that transformation is a holy and sacred task, that affirms that the democratic process is a faithful act, that brings a generous heart and a lens of justice and liberation to all that we do, that values equality and equity and is centered in love.

  • 40 or 50 varied and colorful lamps hanging in a display at lamp market. In the background, dimly lit, is a person working with other lamps.
    Let our hearts be welcoming of multiple truths, not holding hard or fast to closed mindedness or judgmental thinking. What can we learn from each other in the richness of our differences?

  • A person in a black top and blue pants, out of focus, stands looking away from the camera on a forest path. Our point of view is ground level, and in the foreground, in focus, there is a dry brown fallen leaf.
    We lift up those who fear that their hurts, their pains, are too insignificant for healing. May they know that their hurt and their pain is valid, no matter the size, and may they feel comforted in the knowledge that they are not alone and that they are loved.

  • A photo captures a sky, a Black person's upraised fist, and a cardboard sign (as if at a protest) that says, "Freedom Day Juneteenth"
    Let us rejoice for those who safely passed through the shades of night towards the daylight of freedom.

  • The Juneteenth flag: A solid white five-pointed star on a field of blue and red. The border between the blue top half and the red bottom half is an arch that passes through the center of the star. The five-pointed star is surrounded by the outline of a larger 12-pointed star.
    May we remember the atrocities that brought us here.

  • A hand holding a piece of chalk against a blank green chalkboard, as if poised to write. The hand is pale-skinned, and the part of the arm we see is clothed in a white shirt with cuffs.
    Let this year be a clean slate for new beginnings.

  • A silhouette of six or seven young people against a cloudless sky, which ranges from pale blue near the bottom to deep blue at the top of the image.
    Spirit of the divine masculine, grant us the strength to nurture in ourselves, and in every young person we have the privilege to know, the gifts of patience, curiosity, and compassion.

  • A frozen soap bubble rests on snowy ground, with the sun setting on the horizon in the background.
    As we repent in full body and form, secure our names and the generations to come as you have done through time. God who blessed the womb of life, save us once again.

  • Water drips from a melting clump of ice on a small fir branch. The background is a blurry field of grey with a hint of green, possibly other trees.
    Turn toward the thaw, and turn toward the rebirth of spring with New Hope.

  • A Black man's hand is holding a mirror, in which we see a partial reflection of his face. Our point of view is from over his shoulder, so in the foreground we see a slightly out-of-focus portion of the back of his head.
    In this heartbreak what we carry forth is our humanity in newly revealed form—our hearts tender and delicate.
