Opening Prayer
Gracious God, open our hearts to your word this day. Light our paths with the brightness of your love and wisdom. Guide us as we seek to walk in your ways and grow in your truth. Accept our offerings of praise, that our songs and our words may be transformed into your songs and your words. In Christ’s name, we pray. Amen.
