Opening Words  -  Andrew C. Kennedy

We come to love a church,
     the traditions, the history,
     and especially the people associated with it.

And through these people,
     young and old,
     known and unknown,
     we reach out --

Both backward into history
     and forward into the future --

To link together the generations
     in this imperfect, but blessed community
     of memory and hope.
