Let us worship the Christ who draws near to each of us. Let us praise the Christ who loves the worst among us. Let us bless the Christ who shares with the least among us. Let us glorify the Christ who intercedes for all among us in the presence of God the Father. Amen.

Ann Griffiths (1776-1805)



Eternal God, we thank you for the knowledge
that you have found us and embraced us.
Accepted and forgiven by you,
send us out to share your love,
to find people who feel lost
and to give each a joyful welcome.
Jesus, however far we go from you,
you welcome us and bring us home.
Holy Spirit, as we are forgiven let us forgive,
as we are accepted let us accept others.
As we rejoice in the good news of your love,
let us be good news. Amen.

Inspired by Luke 15
