Life is a journey with others;
we travel as a people, on a winding road.
We share our lives, our experiences, our hopes, our fears.

With joy and hope we welcome other travellers
to share our lives.
We learn from each other.
We laugh and cry with each other.
We are home with each other.

And together we celebrate God's presentness
as we are refreshed and made ready
for re-creation in our lives and our communities.

Rev. Rex A. E. Hunt

O presence and power within us,
Being and Life of all.
How we are filled, how we overflow
with infinite love and gladness!
We shall this day sow grace and peace,
and show mercy to all,
and gentle loving-kindness.
And we shall be not so self-serving,
but a constant source of giving.
For ours is the essence,
and the wholeness,
and the fullness forever.
Amen.
