Our inclusive language liturgies set the structure and theme of Sunday morning worship. All liturgies are written by the Celebration Circle Mission Group.

Feel free to use what is helpful from these liturgies. We only ask that when substantial portions are abstracted or used in a written work, please credit Seekers Church and cite the URL.

REFLECTION

We are the vessels of God’s voice, her words

blowing through us, bidding us to tell the tales

that only we can speak.

Jan L. Richardson, In Wisdom’s Path

The point of the resurrection…is that the present bodily life is not valueless just because it will die…What you do with your body in the present matters because God has a great future in store for it…What you do in the present—by painting, preaching, singing, sewing, praying, teaching, building hospitals, digging wells, campaigning for justice, writing poems, caring for the needy, loving your neighbor as yourself—will last into God’s future.

2015 Lent – With All Creation

GATHERING

ENTRANCE

REFLECTION

If you would learn more, ask the cattle,

Seek information from the birds of the air.

The creeping things of earth will give you lessons,

And the fishes of the sea will tell you all.

There is not a single creature that does not know

That everything is of God’s making.

God holds in power the soul of every living thing,

And the breath of every human body.

Job 12:7-10. Cited in “Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditation” (January 21, 2015)

Epiphany 2015 Filled with Light

GATHERING

ENTRANCE

REFLECTION

I cannot cause light; the most I can do is try to put myself in the path of its beam. It is possible, in deep space, to sail on solar wind. Light, be it particle or wave, has force: you rig a giant sail and go. The secret of seeing is to sail on solar wind. Hone and spread your spirit till you yourself are a sail, whetted, translucent, broadside to the merest puff.
