Gathering | We Gather In Love
We come to gather in our weakness
to reconnect as seekers
and worship one true God
We come to gather with the broken
whose words may go unspoken
We gather all as one
United in one Spirit
each different in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love
United in one Spirit
each different in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love
We gather in love

Communion | Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me
an instrument
of Thy peace
Where there is hatred
let me so love
Where there is injury
Thy pardon, Lord
Where there is doubt
let there be faith
O Lord, make me
an instrument
of Thy peace
Where there’s despair
let me bring hope
Where there is darkness
let there be light
Where there is sadness
Let there be joy
O Divine Master
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled
as to console
To be understood
as to understand
To be loved
as to love
O Lord, make me
an instrument
of Thy peace
Where there is hatred
let me so love
For it is in giving
that we receive
And it is in pardoning
that we are pardoned
And it is in dying (it is in dying)
that we are born (that we are born)
to eternal life
to eternal life
Lord, make me
an instrument
of Thy peace
An instrument
of Thy peace
Amen
Closing | Can We Love
Can we love?
Can we lay down our lives?
Can we wear His crown of thorns?
Can we drink the cup that He drinks?
We must lay down our lives
It’s more than shouting God’s name
It’s more than singing His praise
It’s bringing forgiveness to injury’s wound
and hope to those imprisoned by shame
Can we love?
Can we lay down our lives?
Can we wear His crown of thorns?
Can we drink the cup that He drinks?
We must lay down
We must lay down
We must lay down
our lives
