Here’s
an opening prayer of invocation from the United Church of Christ website.
Prayer of Invocation
O Living God of past and future,
we praise you
for this present moment.
Fill us with your joy and empower us with your
Holy Spirit,
that our strength may be renewed
to sing a new song of your glory
in a world which longs for your justice and
peace.
All this we ask in the name of Jesus,
in whom we become
your new creation.
