2. Ever-present God,
we’re aware that You call us
to deeper unity with You
and with one another
in Your family.

3. This unity calls us
to build Your Kingdom,
to reach out in care -
bringing your Good News
to all we meet.

4. May what we do here today
help bring hope to our world…
Empowering all
to know You more intimately,
Supporting all
to belong to each other
more tenderly,
Enabling all
to serve each and every one
more selflessly.

5. We ask this as we are united
with Your Son Jesus
and the Holy Spirit,
who live and reign with You
forever.
Amen.
