Congregational Response (Naming those we love profoundly)

Invite the congregation to consider Jesus’ charge: “Just as I have loved you, you should also love one another.” On a second sheet of dissolvable paper, ask participants to write the names of people they profoundly love. They will need to hold onto these written prayers for a later station.

For virtual worshipers: On another sheet of regular paper, invite participants to write the names of people they profoundly love. They will need to hold onto these written prayers for a later station.
