Welcome, and opening prayer
Dear Lord, please fill our hearts and minds with the Holy Spirit, and help us know we are children of God and holding our true identity with You. Please give us the wisdom to live our lives with You central to our being, to our identity, and with you as our ‘ultimate.’ And do not let us be tempted by the Golden Calves of today, forever beckoning us to grasp their shiny selves with promises of happiness. Let us stay true to You, always and forever. Thank you our dear Lord God. Amen

Welcome, and opening prayer
Dear God, thank you for the world and universe you created. The outstanding beauty, the intricate complexities that allow life. A universe lovingly made by you – and made for us to love too. Please help us show our love by caring for our world – to be the stewards you intended us to be. And let us love each other as you love us. Please help us bring peace to your world.
