With the help of God
We will walk together
In the ways of Jesus
Creating a community
And striving for a world
Where no one is an outcast
And no one is a stranger,
Where all people are celebrated
As precious children of God,
Where we joyfully share with one another
Hope for the living
Comfort for the dying,
Dignity for those in struggle,
And freedom to ask and to seek
And to grow more fully
Into the persons
We were created to be.
