Take some time to consider the needs of our Church and our world for servant leaders. Name these needs aloud. Respond to each prayer with words from the gospel.
ALL: The greatest among us serve the rest.
LEADER: Together let us say this poem from Tagore, the great poet and 1913 Nobel Laureate from India:
ALL: I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and BEHOLD, service was JOY.
