Let us rejoice in the Spirit
who helps us grow in faith
as we search for truth our whole life long.

Spirit of God,
fill us with your power;
widen our vision to see fresh challenges;
open our minds to a fresh outlook;
open our hearts to the fullness of your grace, and
open our lives to your glory.

A family is people
who care when you are sad,
who love you no matter what,
who share your triumphs,
who don’t expect you to be perfect,

Open us up to your boundless love
that we may be open to the places in our lives
where you are stooping down to wash our feet
so we may wash the feet of others.
