Prayer of
Invocation
(inspired by Psalm 126)
Come to this
sanctuary, this house, this home, Holy Christ,
And let us
receive you with lavish welcome.
You are the
Restorer of our fortunes,
The Promise of
new life –
We pour out our
praise to you.
Fill this room
with your Spirit:
The sound of
wind, the warmth of flame, the scent of perfume
And fill our
hearts with your compassion,
Not just in
this time and place,
But in all
times and in all places,
So that as we
celebrate the great things you have done for us,
We may also
embody the love you give to all. Amen.
