WE GATHER AS GOD’S BELOVED
GREETINGS AND WELCOME
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
CENTERING MOMENT AND COLLECT
INTROIT: “What can I do? What can I bring? What can I say? What can I sing? I’ll sing with joy. I’ll say a prayer. I’ll bring my love. I’ll do my share.” (MV# 191 used with permission)
OPENING PRAYER (Unison) We open our hearts to one another and, in these moments of stillness, become aware of the warmth, the breath, the life we share. The Spirit of Christ abides in the shared space between us. May we inhale deeply of this sacred presence and exhale words and actions of godly love in and through our collective journey today. Amen
All sing: Spirit of the Living God VU# 376
A PRAYER FOR RENEWAL: Spirit of Love, the world is loud with power, strategy, and fear. It is easy to lose sight of the human beings beneath the headlines. Easy to speak in abstractions while others carry unbearable costs. Keep our hearts from growing numb. Teach us to see clearly. To resist the temptation to value power over dignity or wealth over human life. When we are overwhelmed by the scale of suffering, return us to what is still possible: compassion, courage, honesty, and care for one another. Help us become people who remain close to the vulnerable instead of turning away from them. Amen
THE PRAYER OF JESUS
WORDS OF ASSURANCE: Our Creator is a forgiving God, who seeks our good and wishes to journey with us. From the four directions the Creator fills us with the virtues of inner strength, generosity, respect, and wisdom. Thanks be to you, Source of Life. Amen.
