OPENING PRAYER
Gracious God,
Your vision of peace and wholeness
comes to us in sweeping revelations
and in tiny signs of hope.
Kindle our hearts that we may be a hopeful people.
Keep us from growing weary of waiting
Lest we miss the glory of your appearing.
Even so, come quickly O God. Amen.

Wondrous God, our hearts are full of praise for all the glorious things you have given us. When we look upon your creation, we realize that it reflects your glory. When we experience the gift of a parent’s love, we are reminded of your tender love for us. When we worship in the great congregation of all who name you Lord, we are blessed to be counted among your children. Hear our prayer of joy and thanksgiving this day, and sustain in us grateful hearts, that we might praise you eternally. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
