Call to Celebration

God of Interconnection, abide in our sacred space today.

You have opened yourself to intimacy with all of your creation. 

You carefully prune excessive and unnecessary weight.

Pruned branches guarantees harvest. 

Pruned branches are close to the Vine.

Everything that is close to you receives tender and sturdy care.

Your touch insures our growth.

We are in the Vine. The Vine is within us. Amen

Offertory

God, you have chosen us to yield a harvest. You carefully craft the skills we need to produce again and again. When the weight of fruit overwhelm our vessel, remind us to reconnect to the Vine that is close for saturation and maturation. Amen
