"At the Heart of Prayer"
​
Parish Hymn
“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” Meister Eckhart
Gathering Prayer
Let us find peace within
So that we may be calm throughout.
Let us find silence within
So that we may find compassion throughout.
Let us be reminded that some things
Are worth waiting for. Let us be reminded that the journey
Is more important than reachying the destination.
Let us see that the non-doing
Is as much a part of life
As the doing.
Let us be reminded that
It is in these moments of holding on
That we can find quietude and renewal.
It is within these time of inaction
That we can find rest.
It is in these time of emptiness
That we can become full.
Lord, Prepare me to be a Sanctuary

As quoted in Rev. Colburns Sermon:
​
I Want to Be with People By Dana E Worsnop
Often people say that they love coming to a place with so many like-minded people.
I know just what they are getting at -- and I know that they aren’t getting it quite right.
I don’t want to be with a bunch of people who think just like me.
I want to be in a beloved community where I don’t have to think like everyone else to be loved,
to be eligible for salvation.
I want to be with people who value compassion, justice, love and truth,
though they have different thoughts and opinions about all sorts of things.
I want to be with independent-minded people of good heart.
I want to be with people who have many names and no name at all for God.
I want to be with people who see in me goodness and dignity,
who also see my failings and foibles, and who still love me.
I want to be with people who feel their inter-connection with all existence
and let it guide their footfalls upon the earth.
I want to be with people who see life as a paradox and don’t always rush to resolve it.
I want to be with people who are willing to walk the tight rope that is life
and who will hold my hand as I walk mine.
I want to be with people who let church call them into a different way of being in the world.
I want to be with people who support, encourage and even challenge each other to higher
and more ethical living.
I want to be with people who inspire one another to follow the call of the spirit.
I want to be with people who covenant to be honest, engaged
and kind, who strive to keep their promises and hold me to the promises I make.
I want to be with people who give of themselves, who share their hearts and minds and gifts.
I want to be with people who know that human community is often warm
and generous, sometimes challenging and almost always a grand adventure.
In short, I want to be with people like you.
