Invocation
TBE Las Cruces Board Meeting
October 17, 2019
Eternal God,
Who spreads a shelter over us
When we give thanks to You for the bounty of the earth,
What do we want to see preserved
under Your holy Tabernacle of creation?
Creativity
Artistry
Ingenuity
Cooperation
One person lifting up another
Knowledge
Wisdom
Truth
Humor
A sense of history
Heritage
Song
Prayer
Growth
Acceptance
Understanding
Compassion
Fairness
Love
Hope.
Can You keep all of these gifts
under Your shelter?
We know that You can,
but that You will do so
When we offer You and the world
our faith, dedication, commitment, and support.
Teach us that
the shelter that we have built on this festival
Demonstrates what we can do
To uphold and maintain
the shelter of creation
Which You have fashioned and
Which You renew each day.
Remind us that we are Your partners
Your companions
Your friends
Your eyes, heart, mouth and hands.
Through which
You keep us alive
Sustain us
And bring us to
the moments of
celebration and achievement
That are yet to come.
Blessed are You,
Eternal One,
to whom we are grateful
For spreading over us
a Sukkah
Of Shalom
of Wholeness, of Completeness,
Of peace.
