Rev. Ruth Moerdyk, Pastor of Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Kalamazoo, offered the following invocation:
“Creator and still-Creating Holy One—
We gather today as Your children, bound to one another through
Our common Source and Spirit,
Our common life,
Our common home,
Our common responsibilities,
And the common good with which we are entrusted.
On this day,
Help us to know the calm and peace we need to make wise choices;
Help us to know the humility we need to learn and to listen;
Help us to know the grace of refraining from harsh judgment;
Help us to know the compassion and mercy asked of us;
And grant us the guidance of a wisdom that surpasses our pride.
As we gather as Your children today, bound to one another,
Make us mindful of all of Your children, all of the world’s beings.
Make of us people who steward and tend the gifts of the earth;
Make of us people who extend mercy and justice to all;
Make of us people whose commitments extend beyond self-interest;
Make of us people who remember and care for all people.
Creator and still-creating Holy One:
Surround us with calm,
Strengthen our best hopes,
Fill us with deep peace,
Anchor us in wisdom,
And center us within the Love that makes all life possible.
May it be so. Amen.”
