Seeker: God, you are a mystery. You sent poisonous snakes to punish your people and then tell them
to look at a bronze serpent to save themselves. What are you? Why kind of god can you be?
Seeker2: Sometimes we don’t understand you and we cannot see or feel you or your love. We
don’t get these stories and we don’t know what you expect of us.
Reader: But the people became impatient with Moses and with God and complained but seeing the
wrath of God, they repented and asked to be spared and God spared them but required them to see an image of their sin so that they might be healed.
Cong: The encircling love of God has no beginning or end; neither start nor finish. It is as deep as the
need.
Seeker: God, what do you want out of this world? What were you expecting out of us? Are we really
that important to you? We do not feel connected.
Seeker2: God, do you really love us? Do you have any idea what we are going through? Does it matter
to you how we feel; how bad things can go for us at times?
Reader: Our God is a merciful God and made a convenant to reconnect with the world. God did not
seek to destroy the world but to save it. Our God is a merciful God; loving is the embrace of
God.
Cong: The encircling love of God has no beginning or end; neither start nor finish. It is as deep as
the need.
Seeker: Lord, you say you sent the Light to us. We don’t feel it very often and sometimes, we want to
stay in the shadows; the darkness that we know.
Seeker2: God, I worry that I’m failing too often. Where is my hope? At times, it seems like I can’t find
it. How can I know that you are with me and that you will stay with me? God are you there?
Reader: The Light has come to the world and that Light is the promise of God. Light draws truth but
darkness covers sin.
Cong: The encircling love of God has no beginning or end; neither start nor finish. It is as deep as the
need.
