God among us, Sense of life, Christ whose love befriends us, Spirit whose unsettling call brings us here - then sends us, bless this human-measured space which in faith we enter; God, in water, bread and wine, be our source, our center. Show us how to be as one, for each other caring, of our lives to take control: being, growing, sharing. Let this be a hearth of peace, quest and celebration; God, we long to learn our role in your good creation. As we worship, wrestle, pray, fire our hearts for mission; what we have and who we are bring to full fruition. In our search for human worth where your children suffer - use our vision, skills and hope which in love we offer. May tradition leave us free, insights we inherit make us doers of the Word, challenge all who hear it. Help us, God, in faith to rise, by your love en-hearted cross into the unexplored, risk a life uncharted!
