People in Little Falls - especially in the Singac area - are soggy and hurting with the floods following Hurricane Irene. Many have basements filled with water. MSNBC News states that the National Flood Insurance Program is, itself "a disaster." It is a regional issue that cries out for different solutions, so that flooding is not a regular event for so many.
After the communion, we pray "...send us out to do the work you have given us to do." This is about engineers being good engineers, and teachers being good teachers; about attorneys being good attorneys, and police being good police; students being good students, and caregivers being good caregivers, so that the whole world can be more in line with God's dream because you offer your gifts, talents and savvy for the good of all, for the "common-wealth." This is baptismal ministry -- the ministry of the whole community of the friends of God -- at its best. Pray not only for those suffering from the effects of the hurricane, but that others will do what they can to bring support and find solutions.
