Preparing Your Spirit Becky
Unison Prayer for Today (please stand) King of Kings, we are one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord. We pray that you continue to take this patchwork collection of people and quilt together your church. Like pieces of cloth, take our words, songs and prayers, take our thoughts and inner hungers, and join us together into a new and living fabric -- the purpose of which is to cover our community with grace and love. Alleluia Amen!
