Prayers for Strength

With offerings of gratitude completed members of the community can ask for prayers of strength for specific struggles in their lives. As people feel moved they will step forward to share .

Mi Chamokha Baelim Adonai Mi Kamokha Nedar BaKodesh Norah Thillot, Oseh Feleh Norah Thillot, Oseh Feleh The Spirit is flowing, flowing and growing. The Spirit is flowing through you and me Adonai guide me, be faithfully beside me Adonai guide me, and bless me The Spirit is flowing, flowing and growing. The Spirit is flowing through you and me Shekhina reside in me your wisdom lives inside of me. Shekhina reside in me, oh Holy of Holies

Receiving of Energy

Once all prayers have been made we will open ourselves to the light of the Divine to refresh and renew ourselves. This is the beginning of a new cycle of the moon, and we open ourselves to the energy that will grow in the coming weeks and ebb as the moon grows dark again. Community members are encouraged to share what they are hoping for or opening to in the new month.

We are opening up in sweet surrender To the luminous love light of the One We are opening We are opening
~ Traditional Rainbow Community Song

We are opening up in sweet surrender To the luminous love light of the One We are opening We are opening

Closing Benediction May this month bring you many things to be grateful for, strength for all your challenges and struggles, and the ever-present sense of your place in the world and within the Holy One. Shavua Tov!
