*Responsive Intent
How sacred are those whose path is honest and just,
who boldly stride out in the Spirit of God!
Sacred are they that pay attention to Wisdom,
seeking God’s inner voice with all their heart.

Sisters and brothers, gender-fluid and non-conforming in Christ, be joyful in the kindness of God.
May the Spirit lead us further into the ways of costly love.

*Hymn

Morning Prayer Concerns and Celebrations
Prayers of the People and Lord’s Prayer
Our Mother-Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kindom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kindom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.
