Opening Words  -  Louise Robeck

We come to this hour knowing that it is but an hour.
Yet out of all the hours in the week this is one that is set apart:
     an hour that is saved,
     an hour that is savored.

It is a time for us to recognize what gives life meaning.
It is a time to honor what we value.
It is a time to celebrate our lives.

Let us then celebrate, honor, and recognize
     that we might fully savor this hour we have saved.
