The beauty born of God s own dream, holy ground, Meadow, woodland, pond and stream, holy ground, Woodland, thicket, furrow, den, Where fox and sparrow nest, The marsh reeds bending in the wind, On which the blackbird rests, The wonders of this world we sing, holy ground. Leaf and stem, rose and thorn, holy ground, Winter frost and summer storm, holy ground, The seed that lies in wait for spring, The fields that ache for fall, The newborn child, old, failing eyes, The bones that bid farewell, The pattern of all life transformed, holy ground. Walk gently with each other, holy ground, Each creature is our sister, brother, holy ground, We cannot find our peace alone, But only as we share, Be ours the will to walk as one, God gives us hearts to care, Walk gently with each other, holy ground.

Lift up your hearts We lift them up Let us give thanks to God our Creator It is right to give our thanks and praise It is right in all times and in all places to thank and praise you Creator of all. We praise you here where the Fraser, Nechako and Thompson Rivers flow, where city and farm, wilderness and industry are side by side. We praise you at a time when the body of earth is broken again and again. We give thanks for our place in the story of salvation. Our ancestors journeyed with you in creation and migration. They depended on the land, were displaced from the land and displaced others from their lands. They knew you in tents and cities, on mountains and by wells, in families and in dreams, and through wilderness prophets who spoke of cedars and listened to ravens. Together with angels and ancestors, eagle and bear, salmon and sheep, pine and wild rose, we join our voices with all creation in this ancient honour song: O holy, holy, holy God, O God of time and space. All earth and sea and sky above bear witness to your grace. Hosanna in the highest heav n creation sings your praise. And blessed is the One who comes and bears your name always! We give thanks to you for Jesus, whose first bed was a feed trough. He was baptized in the Jordan, tested in the wilderness, he traveled in fishing boats and told parables of farmers and seeds, labor and wages, yeast and bread. On the night before he died, Jesus took bread, food of the poor, the work of field and hearth, he gave thanks, broke it and gave it to his friends saying: Take and eat, this is my body, given for you, do this to remember me. Again after supper he took the cup of wine, fruit of the land, gave thanks and gave it to his friends saying: This is my blood, which is shed for you. When you do this, do it in memory of me. Remembering Jesus life, death and resurrection and awaiting his coming kingdom, we offer you this bread and this cup. Creator, send your Spirit on these gifts so that we know Jesus in them and are gathered together with everyone who shares this sacred meal of justice and community. Fill us with the courage and love of Jesus, that we may strive for justice and peace, respect the dignity of every human being, and safeguard the integrity of creation. 4
