Read Psalm 67

This psalm is a celebration of universal worship as God’s ways are made known to all the earth, and “all the nations” and “all the people” will praise and sing with gladness.  How do the Olympic games in Beijing, China, promote this same kind of inclusion and mutual celebration among nations?

Prayer for the week

God of the foreigner and outcast, your arms reach out to embrace all those who call upon you.  Teach us as disciples of Christ so to love the world that your name may be known throughout the earth.  Amen.
