Opening Prayer
(inspired by Psalm
113)
God
of all life,
beyond
our imagining, and yet coming so close;
you
refuse to leave those in need on the rubbish dump.
You
give the poor a place of dignity among the powerful.
You
make a home for the homeless,
and
bring joy abounding to families and communities.
As
we gather to celebrate and give thanks
for
your harvest of blessing,
may
we live within your reality,
share
your vision,
and
do your will,
that
the whole earth may echo your glory. Amen.
