That first time, the first
moment,
sharing a single prayer,
invoking a spirit of
worship,
a quieting of our minds
letting go of the outside
world,
the cares we carry with us,
that which we carried into
the sanctuary,
lifted, at least for this
time together,
unburdened hearts, rising as
one
calling on the Creator, the
Savior,
the everlasting Lord, crying
out to God
to speak to us, as individual,
as a community of faith
being, together, a Mary, as
one of the Twelve
sitting as if in the Upper Room
waiting on Your coming,
waiting for Your Spirit
to fill us for our work,
in Your service always

Unison Prayer
Based on the Unison Prayer,
“Almighty Creator
and Sustainer God, we have come into
your house to
worship you this morning. Help us to lay our
cares and woes on
your altar as we quietly sit at your feet
and listen to your
word. May we hear the message you have
for us. Strengthen
us so that we may be your light, your
ambassadors to the
world. And it is in Christ Jesus’ name
we pray. Amen.”
