At the very core of our being we know and experience the need to

relate to one another.

Our souls long for communion, for fellowship,

and we gather in this place

to seek it out.

Let us open ourselves to the possibilities to which our souls call us.

May we see each other as unique

and yet one.

May we see the differences between us

and all that we share in common.

May we hallow what we find as we look into the eyes of those

with whom we share

this fellowship.

Let us open ourselves to the possibilities to which our souls call us.

As light into light, we pour ourselves.
