Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors

Creating Access and Inclusion in Worship

WE ARE ONE FLOCK

God Bless those who open doors:
with faith, with love,
with knowledge
assuring that all your people
may worship here.
God bless those who
welcome all your people
to the celebrations
and obligations of
membership within your church.
And God bless those who feel excluded.
Give them faith.
Give them love.
Give them the knowledge
of your welcome.
Open our hearts
to move swiftly within your grace;
to hear your message in silent words;
to glimpse your glory beyond our sight;
to find your wisdom in simple truths;
to accept our weakness in your strength.
Let us join Christ
in breaking down those walls
which separate us,
one from another.
Amen.
