As a ministry leader, I will, to the best of my ability, commit to the following:
Scripture: Genesis 1:26-27
"Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.'
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them."

Prayer for Leaders
In these moments of silence, we think about how we see and treat others. We fold our hands together.
<fold hands>
God, our folded hands remind us of your call to hold one another—with respect, dignity, integrity, and love.
Our folded hands remind us that we hold one another accountable for our actions and words so that we might cultivate safe spaces for all.
<pause>
God, you made us in your image. In every face we see, may we recognize one who is beloved by you and bearing your likeness. May this be the foundation for all our relationships and interactions. May it change the way we speak, act, protect, and care for one another. May our relationships with one another be marked with the humility and love of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
