“On this heir to a billion mornings, we gather as a community of blessing. As our ancestors down the ages did, we reflect on the greatness all about us. Let us seek insight into our mysteries: let us teach, learn, inspire, and be inspired. As we reflect the sacred text of human experience, may each find another piece of what we seek.”

“Each of us is a unique standard result: a wonderful, vulnerable, noble, transient fruit of the tree of life. Each of us is a work of art, with time as the artist. Let us not forget to appreciate one another. Let us not forget to be amazed by one another.”
<><><><><>
“We gather to engage the mystery of our existence, to seek beyond the smallness that limits us. We gather to become our best selves, to rejoice at the sight of one another, to nurture, sustain, and challenge one another and to lean into the promises of our lives.”

“In this cosmic poker game of life, church should be the light by which we can see to play our cards.”

“We gather as seekers of truth and beauty in the face of a world too often false and ugly. We gather as a community of love before a world too often unloving. We gather to nurture our souls in a puzzling, even dangerous, universe. In faith, let us reason. In spirit, let us relish paradox. Let us bring forth our best, to bestow like seed in an empty land.”
