Opening Words  -  Amy McKenzie Quinn

Welcome to this common, sacred space.
Common, because we are all welcome.
Sacred, because here we transform the ordinary
     and attend to the profound.

We carry with us our regrets, doubts, fears, stories, laughter;
     may they inspire our worship.
Above all, may we each meet what we need most to find,
On this day, in this common, sacred space.
