Collects and Prayers - November 15, 2009

Greeting
Leader: Through baptism, we are welcomed into God’s gracious, forgiving heart.
People: Let us build a community of love and forgiveness where all will feel welcomed.
Leader: May the Lord find favor in your compassionate spirit.
People: We will open our hearts, hands, and minds to the fullness of Christ's love.

Collect
God of the outcast, the widow, the orphan, and the barren, who welcomes all to the house of God and the table of plenty, let us come now as gracious guests to offer our praise and thanksgiving and to fling our arms wide to embrace others by the example of Christ Jesus, your son. We ask this in your name, God in three persons- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You reign now and forever, a welcome guest in the hearts of all who profess your name. Amen.
