see in each other the image of God

Gather us by this Holy Communion into one body in the Risen One

your Creator has made you holy

holy love

those who are eager to receive

we renounce Satan

God is working today in the committed relationships of same-sex couples

in returning and rest we shall be saved

our unity in God gives us room to disagree safely

follow the apostolic process of prayerful deliberation

in giving ourselves we find ourselves

for the beauty of heaven, may your love prepare us

the search for remedies has not been smooth

as we pray these new rites, we should remember ... to receive and examine them in a candid, charitable spirit

all you create is a sign of hope for our journey

Befriend all who are anxious

in giving ourselves we find ourselves

Make these words more than words

strengthen us with your grace, that we may pray to you faithfully and love one another boldly

God, the giver of every good gift

when all was completed and he had carried us so for joy

things which were cast down are being raised up

those who are eager to receive

Glorify the Lord, O beasts of the wild

its fruitfulness and its failures

Glorify the Lord, O beasts of the wild

Rector, colleague and friend

there is the possibility of congregational reaction ranging from confusion to anger

does not depend on our agreement with one another

You laid the foundations of the world and enclosed the sea when it burst out from the womb

Come, let us return to our God

when all was completed and he had carried us so for joy

may your journey be with the saints

He broke bread with outcasts and sinners, healed the sick, and proclaimed good news to the poor

you carry the lambs in your arms

The commission preferred 'help' to 'aid,' and found line 16 awkward.

Come, let us return to our God

yearn for Christ’s healing

God chose to be our mother in all things

The congregation may be sprinkled with the water

your Creator has made you holy

The original wording of the Nicene Creed ... was agreed upon at the fourth-century Ecumenical Council of Constantinople

The congregation may be sprinkled with the water

bless your lives with joy

who I am will never be lost to you

God chose to be our mother in all things

Forgive, restore, and strengthen us

Fight the good fight with all thy might

yet, as a mother cares for her children, you would not forget us

a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock
