* HYMN

Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart | No. 160

* RESPONSIVE LITANY Rev. Nicole Caldwell-Gross Leader: God, today we acknowledge that faith is a call to journey with you. But we confess that at times the road ahead seems long and difficult.

All: Nevertheless, we are grateful to return to any place we can call home.

Leader: We are encouraged and challenged that this journey is not one that we can take by ourselves. Yet, you call us to share the road with people from all walks of life.

All: Nevertheless, we are grateful to return to any place we can call home.

Leader: This journey may be filled with detours and obstacles. There will be moments when this will not go as planned.

All: Nevertheless, we are grateful to return to any place we can call home.

Leader: Give us wisdom to know when it’s time to rest and when our bodies and souls need to be refueled.

All: Nevertheless, we are grateful to return to any place we can call home.

Leader: Free us from the need to idolize the destination and help us remember to enjoy every stage of this journey. Because it is here that we find you. It is here that we find joy.

All: Lord, help us to enjoy the ride.
