Musical Prelude
Welcome
“Be Welcome Here”
Be welcome here
Be welcome here
Whoever you are
Wherever you go
Be welcome here
Even if you have
broken your vows
a thousand times or more
Be welcome here
May you be in peace
May you be at ease
May you be free
And may you be in peace
May God’s Grace
shower on you
And may you find the peace within
and live your truth
And you’ll see the day will come
When with elation you will greet
Yourself at your own door
To give your heart back to the Self
To the stranger
who hath loved you
all your life
The Questions
Opening Prayer
I now ask the innermost center of my being
to release all negativity from the week just passed,
and throughout my life.
I let go of angry feelings and disturbing emotions.
I remove from my mind
thoughts of doubt, fear, guilt, and judgment.
I firmly discharge any beliefs of inadequacy,
ill health, or scarcity.
Beginning this very moment,
I allow myself to see the world as a possibility
of goodness, peace, and harmony.
I find evidence of health, forgiveness, joy, and abundance.
I replace fear with love.
Because I sow strong, vigorous seeds of positive
expectations,
carefully water and nourish them
by making an optimistic attitude part of my life,
the Divine Creative Force within me
grows a bountiful harvest
from the very seeds I have sown.
And so it is!
Spiritual Seeds
Music
“Listen ”
Goo Goo Dolls
Why are you so green?
How can you say that to me?
When did you fall from grace?
You've got a dirty face
And it's killin' me
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
Can you follow me?
Will you justify me please?
Said you're wrong
Said you're gone
I'll guess I'll wait another night
For what you're gonna say
Back to me
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
And I try But I never try too long
When you're gone
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
Why don't you listen / hear what you're missin'

Declaration
I am a Free Spiritual Being,
manifested from the Source of all life.
That is my true identity.
No person, place, or thing can hold power over me.
The unlimited wisdom and supply of my Source
is always flowing powerfully within me.
I choose to access this great Intelligence,
and live my life in harmony
with gentle, internal guidance.
Freedom is accepting my unique self.
Freedom is letting go of my judgments,
and allowing others to effect their own destinies.
Freedom is lightheartedness,
and finding abundance everywhere.
Freedom is creating miracles with love, joy, and
laughter.
Freedom is knowing that I really am Divine!
And remembering who I am,
I extend my hand, and lovingly ask you to walk
with me in freedom, joy, and peace.

Listen, listen, listen to my heart’s song
Listen, listen, listen to my heart’s song

I will never forsake you
I will never forget you
I will never forsake you
Closing Prayer
Heavenly Creator, Divine Consciousness within me,
I welcome You into my awareness,
and open myself to Your loving guidance.
Awaken my direction in life
to the Universal Will of Your peaceful perfection.
Help me to forgive myself,
and help me to forgive my brothers and sisters.
I thank You for the blessings in my life,
and for seeing only my innocence.
Through Your presence in my heart,
guide me in the light of Your Love,
in co-creation with the Divine Plan.
Sharing of our Miracles & Healing Circle
Closing Circle Song
Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant
to be.
With God as Creator, united all are we.
Let us walk with each other, in perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now.
With every step I take, let this be my solemn vow;
To take each moment, and live each moment in peace
eternally.
Let there be peace on earth, and it has begun with me.
