Opening Doors to Christ God, bless those who open doors: with faith, with love, with knowledge, assuring that all your people may worship here. God, bless those who welcome all your people to the celebrations and obligations of membership within your Church. And, God, bless those who feel excluded. Give them faith, love, and the knowledge of your welcome. Open our hearts to move swiftly within your grace; to hear your message in silent words; to glimpse your glory beyond our sight; to find your wisdom in simple truths; to accept our weakness in your strength. Let us join Christ in flinging wide the doors that separate us, one from another. Amen.
Prayer for the Diocese of Metuchen Jubilee Day 2000 for Persons with Disabilities |
