Many Hopes in Our Hearts

A murmuration of birds, seen from a distance. The birds form a black cloud of varying density, seen against a sky streaked with clouds. The clouds near the horizon show a touch of red from the rising or setting sun.

Welcome beloveds, welcome!
We come to spiritual community this morning with many hopes in our hearts:
The hope for inspiration, the hope for comfort, the hope for renewal.

In this time and space, may inspiration water our thirsty souls.
In this time and space, may comfort blossom in the gardens of our hearts, and bring us sweet relief.
In this time and space, may renewal course through us,
  as electric as a surge of energy,
  as serene as a nourishing meal,
  as contagious as joy,
and bring us vitality and rejuvenation.

May our time together honor all the hopes we hold within;
May our time together bless us with the gifts of inspiration, comfort and renewal.
Let us Worship together.
