Come and Find the Quiet Center

God of abundance, you feed our souls with the bread of your generous love and grace. There are baskets and baskets left over after we have our fill. We welcome your presence in this place. Renew us with your words of wisdom found in scripture, sermon, and song. We pray as Jesus taught us to pray for your kingdom saying, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for Thine is the Kingdom and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
