Home on the Range ribbon-cutting ceremony

By The Rev. Erik Thorson
Loving God, Creator and Sustainer of the earth and all its creatures, protector of those who till the earth and keep flocks and herds:
By your wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures (proverbs 24)
Shower your blessings on this new building for the Northern Plains Resource Council and the Western Organization of Resource Councils.
Let it be a place that shows a glimmer of your future and teaches us some wisdom in our lives here in this place.
Bless those who work here and those who share your dream of justice and mercy in their communities, and toward your creation. Let them have cheerful hearts and quiet minds as they serve you and serve their neighbors through the vocations to which they have been called.
In this place, as in all things, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen.
