Father,
We offer ourselves as a people
who empower one another
to grow in faith with your gifts.

May we be
the Body of Christ to one another
and to the world.

May your Holy Spirit
inspire us to share and
to live the good news of your son, Jesus.

In your compassion,
we reach out and care.
In your mercy,
we are peace-makers.
We hear and respond to your call.

God of love,
knit our parish family together.
Send us forth to do your work
and glorify your name.
Amen.
