6.15 [LITURGY] Prayers to God Our Father

Jason Miller and Mariah Keener - Here at South Bend City Church, we take our cue from Scripture which calls us as a community to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. As we gathered on Father’s Day, we took time to acknowledge the spectrum of experience in the room when it comes to this day and for all that's going on in the world around us.
The breath prayer prompts and closing prayer were written by or based on the writings of Cole Arthur Riley and can be found on her Instagram, @blackliturgies. The song Lean Back is by Amanda Cook and can be found here.
