Some of you may have met Marina and bought a loaf of her delicious sourdough bread at the Kindred Area Arts Partnership Holiday Market in Wild Roots Venue back in November. Her bread is a true work of art and we are now collaborating with her through Norman Church to offer our new members, new babies, or sick members a fresh loaf delivered by our Connect & Serve meal coordinator Ali Howes. Marina is a stay at home mom of three with a love for baking and cooking from scratch. She started making sourdough bread in her kitchen January 2022. She has now started Marina Kay's Kitchen to share her homemade bread with the community. Find her on instagram or text her to order!

Almighty God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, this is a great day: the day of your creating and saving work through the resurrection of Jesus Christ!

You show your steadfast love without regard to borders, barriers, or human-made divisions. Infuse your justice in every nation of the world that all experience the peace that only you can give. Risen Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
You anointed your Son with the Holy Spirit and with power. Encourage us by his example in our ministries of healing, care, and outreach. We pray for all who are sick or hospitalized and for all healthcare workers who care for them. Risen Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
You have put gladness in our hearts. Inspire musicians and dancers to rejoice with songs of victory. Bless the music ministries of this congregation and all who foster our assembly’s song. Risen Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
As you have raised Jesus from the dead, you show us your resurrection promise. With your holy ones who have sung your praise, free us from fear and empower us to go and tell the good news. Risen Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
