Teach us to see Christ in the lives we touch
and to love as he did
through our love-filled service to others,
particularly those in need.

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,
