Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.
–Plato (approx. 375 BC)
If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character.
If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home.
If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation.
Where there is order in the nation, there can be peace in the world.

Oh Lord, through the strife bring Your peace;
Where worry prevails, give release.
As the shadows linger all around, to our troubled minds and broken land
Let there be peace, let there be peace.
Oh Lord, through the dark shine Your light;
Where truth seems unclear, help our sight.
Lift the veil that covers blinded eyes; give a vision of You, only wise.
Let Your light shine, let Your light shine.
Lord of all mercy and grace, rain down Your love in this place.
In a world where hatred seems so strong, may Your grace right the wrong……
Give Your peace, Lord give Your peace.
–Patricia Mock, Richard Nichols (CCLI 649965)

Unprogrammed Worship — 17th century Friends taught that “Jesus has come to teach His people Himself,” and they made that truth the centerpiece of their lives by spending significant periods of time, individually and in gatherings for worship, to listen to their Inward Teacher and obey what they heard. If God leads you to speak out of the silence, please request a microphone so all can hear your ministry.

—after completing school in the late 1830s, Susan returned to help her family, found work as a school teacher

—worked especially for women’s right to own property and to vote — to make her point, she illegally voted in the 1872 presidential election and was arrested
—met with President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905 to lobby for women’s suffrage, but it did not become US law until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920

—Susan B. Anthony died March 13, 1906, in New York
—was honored for her life’s dedicated work by her portrait on dollar coins in 1979, the first woman ever so honored
