Leader: The presence of God is surely in this place.

People: The presence of God is everywhere.

Leader: We open our hearts to receive the presence of God in this place, at this time.

People: We seek ways to express the presence of God in all places, at all times.

Leader: We gather here to remind ourselves and each other that God is everywhere at all times.

People: God is in all people, in all things, in all places, and in all circumstances.

All: To see god where we expect to find god, we open our eyes.  To see God everywhere, we must open our hearts.

(Written for a Sunday when “Surely the Presence” was the choral introit.)
