Opening Prayer: Parts of the Body

Here’s an opening prayer from Rev Gord’s Worship Offerings blog.

Opening Prayer

Gift-giver, you call us together,
with our different gifts,
our different ideas,
our different tastes. 

You call us together,
to share what makes us special,
to build each other up,
to serve each other in love. 

You call us together,
knowing that we need all parts of the body
if we are to be whole. 

You call us together,
to sing, to pray, to listen, to speak.
To be refreshed
so that we can go out and serve. 
You call us together
in the name of the One
who taught his friends to pray saying:
“Our Father, who art in heaven….”
