Openings
Rebecca A. Edmiston-LangeAlso appropriate as Opening Words
Come in. Come into this place which we make happy by our presence.
Come in. Come into this place which we make happy by our presence.Come in with all your vulnerabilities and strengths, fears and anxieties, loves and hopes. For here you need not hide, nor pretend, nor be anything other than who you are and are called to be.
Come into this place where we can touch and be touched, heal and be healed, forgive and be forgiven.
Come into this place, where the ordinary is sanctified, the human is celebrated, the compassionate is expected.
Come into this place. Together we make it a holy place.
