Opening Liturgy

One: Arise, shine, for your light has come!
All: And the glory of God has risen among us.
One: In a world clouded by confusion and competing stories,
All: We come seeking clarity, honesty, and hope.
One: Like the Magi who followed a star,
All: We open our hearts to the light that reveals what is real and good.
One: Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life meets us here—not as a weapon or a wall, but as a presence of love.
All: May this light guide us, challenge us, and set us free.
One: Come, let us worship the One who unveils truth and leads us by another road.
All: We worship with wonder. We worship with courage. We worship in the light of Christ. Amen.

Unison Prayer (11:15am only)

Liberating God, we come to you not claiming the truth but seeking it. Free us from the fear that makes us defensive, from the certainty that keeps us closed, and from any truth that shrinks love or diminishes another. Teach us to remain in the way of Jesus—to walk in truth that opens us, connects us, and sets us free. Give us courage to live into the freedom you offer, and grace to share it with others, for the sake of a world still longing to be free. Amen.
