Opening Words
Let there be joy in our coming together this morning.
Let there be joy in our coming together this morning.Let there be truth heard in the words we speak
and the songs we sing.
Let there be help and healing for our disharmony and despair.
Let there be silence for the voice within us and beyond us.
Let there be joy in our coming together.
