*OPENING PRAYER (Unison)
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.
