Response to the Word - An affirmation of Faith

From all the corners of the world:
God has called a pilgrim people.

From all walks of life:
God has called a pilgrim people.

People regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or any other human identifier:
We are all signs of God’s division.
We are signs of God’s new creation joined together by love.

So let us not journey alone with God.
So let us not journey only with our friends.

Let us create a space that welcomes all people:
Signs of God’s all embracing love.
