Loving God
May our meeting places
be filled with heaven
and the possibility
that this moment
is new
and renewed
through grace
and hope

and that we meet you here
in this new moment
and be renewed
by such love
that forgives
transforms
and fill with hope again

So because we come here
as we are
and because we are a mixture of longing and worry
pain and hope
may we find here
the place
where renewal makes us
in word
or song
or in relationships with each other
all held by you
and a love
grater than anything else

Loving God
who has a habit of meeting people on the road
in unexpected places
in sudden moments
may we meet here
and turn towards you
in invitation
to be reborn into this day
forgiven into tomorrow
and called into the future
as your renewed
and transformed people
