by Rev. Mary Nelson Abbott.
Prayer
of Invocation
(inspired by Joel
2:28, Acts 2:17)
Move
among us, Spirit,
and
gather us together with you.
Take
our many selves—
our
lives, our loves, our ideas,
our
questions, our speech, our silence—
and
unite us as your people.
Give
us the gifts of perception and understanding,
so
that even as we dream your dreams and see your visions,
we
may be able to witness to your presence
in
our common life. Amen.
