In addition to back ground checks and training for staff and volunteers, we ask all those present to follow the “two adult rule. ” This means that no adult should be alone with participants under age 18 or with vulnerable adults.

God the Sculptor of the Mountains Words: John Thornburg. Music: Amanda Husberg. © 1996 Abingdon Press. All rights reserved. Used by permission One. License. net A 709087.

God the Sculptor of the mountains, God the Miller of the sand, God the Jeweler of the heavens, God the Potter of the land:

You are Womb of all creation, We are formless; shape us now. God the Nuisance to the Pharoah, God the Cleaver of the sea,

God the Pillar in the darkness, God the Beacon of the free: You are Fount of all deliv’rance, We are aimless; lead us now.

God the Dresser of the vineyard, God the Planter of the wheat, God the Reaper of the harvest, God the Source of all we eat:

You are Host at ev’ry table, We are hungry; feed us now. God the unexpected Infant, God the calm determined Youth,

God the table-turning Prophet, God the resurrected Truth: You are present ev’ry moment, We are searching; meet us now.

ONE: Instead of confessing … and the history of our Church: ALL: we have closed our eyes we have not spoken up we have cut ourselves off we have pretended this was what you wanted from us.

Great Mystery, Hold us accountable by your Spirit: ALL: to talk less and listen more to take less and give more to destroy less and heal more to display less pride and more humility.

ALL: God have mercy! Free us in grace and open our hearts to receive the blessing of a new relationship.

ONE: Will you come and follow me if I but call your name? Will you go where you don’t know and never be the same?

Will you let my love be shown? Will you let my name be known? Will you let my life be grown in you and you in me?

ALL: Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name? Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same?

Will you risk the hostile stare should your life attract or scare? Will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me?

ALL: Will you let the blinded see if I but call your name? Will you set the pris’ners free and never be the same?

Will you kiss the leper clean, and do such as this unseen? And admit to what I mean in you and you in me?

ALL: Will you love the you hide if I but call your name? Will you quell the fear inside and never be the same?

Will you use the faith you’ve found to reshape the world around? Through my sight and touch and sound in you and you in me?

ONE: As we gather in community, we are called to be bold in faith. All: We will nurture the courageous spirit that offers new life.

ONE: When we hear the cries of a suffering people. All: We will love fiercely where wounds are too great to bear.

ONE: When we see our neighbors in search of sustenance. All: We will serve one another until all needs are met.
