Ever-present God,

We come to worship today to recognize you in one another.

We hear your kindness in thoughtful voices.

We see your compassion in the eyes of caring friends.

We taste your sweet and savory nourishment through shared meals and conversations.

We smell the renewal of your life in spring flowers.

We feel your strength in the actions of people standing up to injustice.

Let us share your love with one another as we journey together.
