Not merely reflecting, as the moon is to the sun,
projecting light, ourselves being the light,
the indwelling, the spirit, the light of Christ
becoming part of us, shining outward, beacons
into the night, cutting through the darkness of the world
so we pray we will be, your light, messengers, heralds
bringing your love, your salvation
to all who will hear, all those in need

Based on the Unison Prayer,
“Almighty Creator and Sustainer God, we have come into
your house to worship you this morning. Help us to lay our
cares and woes on your altar as we quietly sit at your feet
and listen to your word. May we hear the message you have
for us. Strengthen us so that we may be your light, your
ambassadors to the world. And it is in Christ Jesus’ name
we pray. Amen.”
