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
Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 128 May the Lord Bless Us
May the Lord bless us all the days
of our lives…of our lives

Blessed are you who fear the LORD,
who walk in his ways!
For you shall eat the fruit of your handiwork;
blessed shall you be, and favored.

of our lives…of our lives
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
in the recesses of your home;
your children like olive plants
around your table.

of our lives…of our lives
Behold, thus is the man blessed
who fears the LORD.

may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.

of our lives…of our lives
May you see your children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel!

Communion | Where Charity and Love Abide
Ubi caritas et amor
Deus ibi est

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 raising our hands
It’s more than singing this song
It’s saying “yes” to the Giver of life
It’s righting the ways that are wrong
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
