Colossians 2:20-3:4
Mosaic Gathering Prayer: October 20, 2019
We believe in God, the Great Sewist\u2014 Who weaves us together in community,
Collecting our loose ends and turning them into belonging.
We believe in the Holy Spirit\u2014 Who hems us in before and behind,\xa0
Catching us when we fall and writing us into God\u2019s holy story.\xa0
And we believe in Jesus Christ\u2014 Who loved and claimed the people society had thrown out, refusing to disregard anyone as scrap.
We believe God has woven part of God\u2019s self into the fiber of our being,
Making us inherently worthy of love and belonging.\xa0
We believe the fabric of our lives are weak,\xa0
That we are prone to error and need God\u2019s handiwork to remind us of love.\xa0
We believe in the Church, and that like a quilt of different fabrics,
She is designed to be as diverse and beautiful as God\u2019s creation.\xa0
And we believe that when life unravels, God is there to stitch our wounds together,\xa0
To hold us in the palm of God\u2019s hand, to tell us of love,
And to invite us into a new journey. Amen.\xa0
