Living God we come together, with words of commitment, and hymns of praise.  May this time renew our spirits, so that confident in you, and emboldened by one another, we might return to the world in strength and grace. Inspire us to be faithful friend, generous neighbour, bold disciple, and daring advocate, encouraged by this community and your abiding love.  In the name of the Holy One who came down.  Amen       

Gracious God, you come among us in abundant joy, unsettling truth, deep consolation, and powerful transformation.  Yours are winds of change, hastening us toward a kin-dom of inclusion and justice not yet known in this world.  Move and mold us.  Convert and transform us.  Through your many witnesses, show us your way, so that we may be a community that embodies your love, here and now.    Amen
