illumination: this colorful world
O God…we are thankful
that you have created this colorful world…
that you have invited us to see the world through your eyes…
and that you trust us enough to join you in the creative process.
Through the stories we hear today,
may your light shine brightly on our path
as we strive to fulfill your hope for all creation
through Jesus Christ, our Lord…
Amen.

Illumination: come and see
Eternal God, we are listening for your gracious Word,
made flesh for us in Jesus Christ.
Call us to come and see where he leads,
and teach us to believe in his name.
Help us to do as he tells us
so our lives might be signs of his glory.
We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
