Opening Prayer of Invocation

God who made all things 
and is beyond our imagining
thank you for the gift of life
the gift of today
the gift of this space

Jesus Christ
who came into our world to be with us
thank you for your healing presence
your life
your friendship

Spirit of God
who animates us with the resurrection life of God
breathe on us
be in our midst
animate our worship

We’re here
You’re here
May that be enough

though we see dimly
though we know in part
though you are a mystery

we long for you
we look for you
we wait for you
Amen
