Reader: God, you call us to live in ways that honor you and bless our neighbors.
All: Your goodness is our source for the love, justice, and peace
you've tasked us with pouring out into your world
Reader: So we come once again seeking to recharge in your life-giving presence.
All: As we re-center ourselves around your perfect love, may you shape and
reshape our hearts to be more like yours.
Reader: May what we say, sing, and hear this morning open our
spirits to connect with you, God ...
All: ... and be your hands and feet to the world
that you created and called "good."
