Wherever we are in our spiritual journey,we intend to come into closer relationship with God and with each other. God's presence awakens our hearts, and informs our lives, so that we are grounded by divine grace.
Our church is a place where we practice living in faith, supporting each other so that with time we become the beloved community.
For when we awaken our soul, God is brought into the world.

Call to Worship -
Look at the birds of the air;
they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns
and yet God provides for their basic sustenance of life.
May our hearts be open to trust you.
Look at the birds of the air;
they neither study nor plan nor plot their course
and yet God writes the instinct
for migration into their hearts.
May our eyes be open to see you.
Look at the birds of the air;
they neither talk nor vote nor debate their responsibility
yet God weaves them into
communities which nurture and defend.
May our hands be open to serve you.
Amen
Sing - Welcome, #3152, verses 1, 2 & 3
Unity Prayer -
God of the ages, we come into this holy space
asking for your blessing,
To find your love in abundance surrounds us.
Open our eyes to see the wonder of your creation
in the beauty around us.
Open our ears to hear the grace of your word
shared in story and song this day.
Open our hearts to experience the joy of faith
through this beloved community today.
And open our hearts,
so we become vessels of your blessing
to a world in need of grace and love;
we pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
