Morning Reflection

“We do not throw in a useless coin and make some kind of empty wish, or sit close to the gushing waters and simply admire their loveliness.  You ask us to leap into the source, to be thoroughly saturated.  We are to be absorbed by the cascade and become one with your love.  As you flow through our being we, too, become fountains of holiness.”  ~ Fragments of Your Ancient Name

Chimes

Opening Prayer 1

The wind at our backs, we entered Jerusalem.  Only to watch him die on the cross.  It spiraled so quickly.  Trial.  Torture.  Crucifixion.  Death.  But on the third day the breath of God blew new life into our futures.  Forty days with the risen Jesus.  Before he ascended, Jesus reminded us that the Spirit will come.  It was on Pentecost.  It was on Pentecost when the wind breathed into each and every one of us.  Sacred breath, move through this room.  Unlock a song within your people.  Breathe into us your hopes and dreams for a world filled with justice, love, and peace.  Amen.

Welcome

Hymn 280 Come, O Spirit, Dwell Among Us

Statement of Affirmation 3

We are a cloth of diverse colors made from many gifts and graces. We are the people flowing forth from Creator God, surprising ourselves with the things which can be done. We are raw material for rewarding relationships as our lives interweave, contributing one to the other, holding each other firm when one is weak or breaking. We are each worthy of being respected and cared for essential to the pattern, skilled in our appointed tasks, sources of laughter and sharers of tears. We commit ourselves to work together, that one day, this world may be a place where all people live in justice, freedom and peace.

“Some believe you intensely look for what is shabby and sinful in the depths of our veiled selves.  Perhaps what you truly seek is our treasure of inner goodness, that cache of love you infused at the moment of our becoming.  Our inheritance of your goodness never truly dies.  It only hides out until it's ready to be claimed.”   ~ Fragments of Your Ancient Name
