Dancing the Dream…
The Holy Eucharist • Opening Acclamation

Celebrant The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship
of the holy Spirit, be with you all

All And also with you.

Celebrant Almighty God

All to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are
hidden. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy
Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name;
through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Celebrant Glory to God in the highest,

All and peace to his people on earth.
Lord God, heavenly king, almighty God and Father,
we worship you, we give you thanks,
we praise you for your glory.
Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father,
Lord God, Lamb of God,
you take away the sin of the world:
have mercy upon us;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father:
receive our prayer.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
your alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen

Celebrant Almighty God, you bent the earth like a bow until it was one, round, shining
planet. At your word the land was drawn into mountains and deserts, forests
and plains; the waters were gathered together into rivers, lakes and seas. Many
times, when people crossed these seas from other lands they broke the circle of
your creation by their greed and violence and they shattered the lives of others.
Renew the circle of the earth O God, and turn the hearts of all your people to one
another; that they and all the earth may live, and be drawn towards you in and
through the power of your Son; who lives with you and the Holy Spirit in the
circle of the Trinity forever one God. Amen.
