Reader: God, we come today wanting to believe in many things but trusting very few.
All: Our faith in you may be ragged and worn around the edges ...
Reader: .. but you’ve promised that you don’t brush aside the bruised and the hurt.
All: Instead, you welcome all who come seeking; so meet us where we are.
Reader: You're a God of limitless love, creativity and compassion.
All: For this, we give you praise.
