L. Be still for a moment. What do you hear? What do you smell? What do you feel under your feet? Beloved, God is here.

P. In the familiar and unfamiliar, God is here with us.

L. Take a moment to look around. Whom do you notice? Who isn’t here that you expected to see? Whether this community feels brand new or familiar to you, God is here.

P. In the familiar and unfamiliar, God is here with us.

L. Take a deep breath. We share this air, this space, this worship home together. In our breathing and worshiping in this time and place, God is here.

P. In the familiar and unfamiliar, God is here with us.

L. God is here. May we pay attention and discern how God brings us together in the familiar and the unfamiliar to be and become the Body of Christ.

P. May we notice and join in God’s work of forming us for community as we worship today. Amen.
