Gather us in, wind of the Spirit! Center us down. Collect the dangling threads of
our consciousness and weave them into a worthy tapestry of praise.
Help us remember the roots from which our strength is drawn. Help us return
again to that source.
Your purposes are eternal, O God. Though the mountains fall into the heart of
the sea, yet your love will remain steadfast forever.
We are here to worship. We are here to praise. We are here to have our
hearts enlarged and our eyes opened!
This day was made by God… given to us… and pronounced good and perfect.
Thanks be to the God who loves us extravagantly. In the name of God’s Son,
Jesus the Christ we pray… AMEN.
