SERMON
HYMN (please remain seated)
Christ tells us that we cannot serve
both God and money too.
It's time to choose which side we're on;
account for what we do.
While some folk lack enough to thrive
and some have wealth to spare,
Christ sits beside the least of these
and calls us all to care.
For all that we will spend or save,
invest or give away,
is held in trust to be a means
to follow in Christ's way.
When quests for wealth destroy our world
and tides and rivers rise,
the poorest countries suffer most:
take notice of their cries.
To banks and all with money's power,
the prophets’ voices call:
‘Repent of all that harms the earth,
work for the good of all.’
Across the seas may we reach out
with trade that's just and fair.
Creation’s riches are for all
Christ's common wealth to share.
DOXOLOGY
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise God, all creatures here below;
Praise God for all that love has done;
Creator, Christ, and Spirit, One. Amen.
