Together we gather round the light of Christ
Those who are here for the first time
Those who have been here many times before
Those who come regularly
Those who come only on occasions
Those who are yet to join us
Those who no longer come but who remember us
Together we gather round the light of Christ
Some of us are confident but others feel anxious
Some of us are happy but others are low
Some of us are articulate but others feel tongue tied
Some of us are sure in our faith but others full of doubt
Together we gather round the light of Christ and commit ourselves to:
Respecting each other and our different experiences
Being open to new ideas and challenging thoughts
Learning from each other and sharing with each other
Seeking to understand the discipline of worship and the wonder of God
Together we gather round the light of Christ
