Place an open bible at the center of your group with a lighted candle beside it.
LEADER: Our God keeps faith forever, secures justice for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry, and sets captives free.
ALL: Gives sight to the blind, raises up those bowed down, loves the just, protects strangers.
LEADER: The fatherless and the widow, God sustains.
ALL: And calls us to continue this work on earth. Amen.
