From the Pastor

A Blessing to center us in the summer months:

 

Holy One,         

you who make spring come forth,         

who make life out of nothing,

breathe yourself into me.

          

Create me.

you are the flame,         

I am your light. You are the nerve,         

I am your muscle. You are the Word,         

I am the story. You are the song,         

I am the singing.

 

I am one with you        

and one with all Creation. One Spirit,         

one flesh, many forms. In your Spirit         

I am we.

 

Holy One, live in me;         

I am your body. I remember,         

and I live.
