ANTHEM: Weave Us in Community by Karen Marrolli*; Dr. Brian Logan, flute
Creator, Christ, and Holy Ghost, come and dwell within our hearts today. Dispel the idols we love most, and lead us on the servant way. We tend toward war and bend toward ill will while you ask us to break the sword and spear. Now let your song grow louder still: O melody of peace, draw near! As varied voices blend and ring in harmony, your voice is heard. So let our actions also sing a song of hearts and souls now stirred. Now, subject to each other’s needs, each other’s joys, each other’s load, we follow where the Spirit leads, to heal and offer grace bestowed. When threads of love have come undone, O threefold God of unity, sew up our tatters, one by one, and weave us in community.
