Leader

Lord God, when Jacob encountered you at Bethel, he built an altar as a testament to that meeting:

All:  May our worship today reflect your encounters with us in our own lives.

Leader: The people of Israel carried a tent to house the Ark of the Covenant and your holy spirit:

All:  May our faith travel with us beyond these walls and into every  aspect of our lives.

Leader: Our forebears in faith built this chapel as a sign of their devotion and service to you:

All:  May our vision for today and the future honor those who  have paved our way to you.  Today, Lord, you call us to be Living Stones: 

May our worship, our faith, our devotions and our vision overflow with your love, mercy, justice and Holy Spirit, so that we may be living proof of your life in us and our life in you.    Amen.
