4. One: We come as fragile, earthen vessels. Many: A rush of wind, a touch of flame. This is the way the path opens. One: In the wind and the flame, we are formed and moved and surprised! Many:We see differently; hear more; understand less and believe more.

5. One: The Breath of God … All: We, sisters and brothers, the Spirit-filled Body of Christ. Together let us lift our spirit in prayer and song and praise!
