God our Hope,
God our Guide,
God our Companion,
God our Inspiration,
Be with us
As we gather to discuss
How best to preserve the well-being
And sustenance
Of our congregation.
Enable us to identify wide-ranging possibilities
To discover new ways to employ tried and true approaches
To connect with community members
To spark their interest
To enlist their energy
To ensure their commitment
To our collective future.
God our Hope,
Keep us positive so that we will envision
Our own mutual achievement and success.
God our Guide,
Lead us to form bonds with others
That are founded in respect, sincere connection and warmth.
God our Companion,
Open our eyes to Your presence with each of us
And among us
within the image of a bush that burns unconsumed.
God our Inspiration,
Open our hearts to recognize Your spirit within each other
And in each of us
So that we will continue walk upon a common path
That leads us to Your love and Your way.
Amen.
