Call to Worship  -  Daniel Budd

We come to this place of high purpose, a sanctuary which touches all other sanctuaries of our past: a past both personal and collective, whose faith and tradition we hold continually before us. Here we would deepen our knowledge of ourselves, widen the horizon of our minds, touch one another with care and with love, and place ourselves before the mystery of life.

We come into this place of ever-new beginnings with a hope in our hearts for renewal, with a hope living in the very wood and stone of this room which offers to enter us as we enter this place. Here we would deepen our commitment together, widen the compassion of our hearts, touch one another with warmth and with hope, and place ourselves before the mystery which gives birth to it all.

Let us enter this time in this place together with a moment of silence.
