As we adjourn today in memory of former President pro Tem John Burton, we pray in gratitude for his life and legacy.
Creator God, we bless and affirm the dedication of Mr. Burton to living a life of radical hospitality as he worked to create a space of belonging for all.
His life was a healing balm to those in need and a challenging voice to those needing to implement change.
As we remember the blessings of his life, may we continue to live with fidelity to the ideals of our call.
May we meet the challenges of each day with enthusiasm and hope.
And may those we serve experience the fruits of our commitment to the common good.
We ask this in Your name.—AMEN.
