            People: Thanks be to God!

Unison Opening Prayer:
    God of Joy, God of life, we come to you as a people hungry for good news. We have been so surrounded by sorrow and loss, that too often we have missed the miracles that each new day is given, fresh and new. In our struggle to get through each day's testing times, we have missed the Life with which you surround us. Forgive us for our blindness, and open our eyes and hearts to receive your gifts; In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Greet one Another- Passing God's Peace.
