All are Welcome, because God is Welcome

​God of every generation, you gather a multitude no one can count, from every nation and people and language, singing before your throne. Today we give thanks for the saints who have shown us your face: those whose names the church remembers, and those whose names only we hold dear. Speak your blessing over us, as Jesus did on the mountain, and make us poor in spirit, merciful, and pure in heart. Amen.
