One: Jesus prayed that we might be one.
One in spirit
One in mission
In union and communion with each

All:
Today, God, we confess fumblings and failures
in accomplishing unity, as we set aside yet another day to remind ourselves of
the task.
On this World Communion Sunday, give us
eyes to recognize your reflection in the eyes of Christians everywhere.
Give us a mind to accept and celebrate our
differences.
Give us a heart big enough to love your
children everywhere.
We thank you for setting a table with
space enough for us all! Amen.
*Chorus “Lord, Be Glorified” (verse 3) #2150

In
our church, Lord, be glorified, be glorified.
In
our church, Lord, be glorified today.
