Loving God,

Guide us in our learning, that we may seek wisdom with open minds and hearts and discover the truth in all things —
In our studies, in one another, and in you.

Help us to act justly, to stand for what is right.  Teach us respect — for ourselves, for each other, and for all creation. 

Build in us a strong sense of community, where we are united in faith, kindness, and love.

Amen
