Getting Centered<\/h2>\n

It may help to center yourself into worship by lighting a candle, as a symbol of God’s presence with you during the time of worship. You may also want to pay attention to lighting, the position of your body, and the availability of distractions.<\/p>\n

Breath Prayer<\/h3>\n

\u201cLife-source, help us connect with you.\u201d
\nBreath prayers involve breathing in the first phrase, and breathing out the second.
\nYou may wish to simply pray for a moment before starting, or you may wish to pray while listening to the prelude.<\/em><\/p>\n

Call to Worship<\/h3>\n

One: Come, bring your attention to the things of God.
\nMany: We let go of what holds us back.<\/strong>
\nOne: Be present to this moment and the One Who Loves All.
\nMany: Here we are, here we worship.<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

Hymn #451: Be Thou My Vision<\/em><\/h3>\n
