PRELUDE: Rain Down—-Jaime Cortez, arr. Mark Hayes
CALL TO RETURN TO OUR SOULS
HYMN: Morning Has Broken (#664 Glory to God)
CONFESSION AND COMMITMENT –Lawrence Tribble
Our souls often sleep,
Unaware of what’s Inward and Deep.
But one soul awake,
may awaken another.
The second awakens a sleeping neighbor.
The three awake can rouse a town
By turning the whole place upside down.
The many awake can make such a fuss.
It finally awakens the rest of us.
One soul up with dawn in her eyes
Surely then multiplies.
Why even God is surprised!
When sleepers awaken and rise!
Amen.

PRAYER OF DEDICATION: –Meister Eckhardt(adapted)
All beings are words of God,
God’s music,
God’s art.
Sacred books we are,
For the infinite camps in our souls.
Every act reveals God
and expands God’s being.
I know that may be hard to comprehend.
All creatures are doing their best
To help God in God’s birth of God.
Let us dedicate ourselves
to this inner struggle
and that external work.
Amen.
