This is the Invitation
To a new conversation
Of depth over speed
Of gift over need
A new Listening…
The structure of how we gather
Speaks of what really matters
Telling a new
Story of who
We are to each other
This is the Invitation
Community’s Restoration
By just showing up
We’re gifted enough
To birth a new world
Though we don’t know
what it will look like
We’re feeling that world’s alive
Like it’s ready to bloom
Here in this room
The seeds in each life
So Community’s New Frontier
Is finding all that we need, right here
To weave a rich, local life
Into a tapestry lined
With the connections we share
This is the invitation
To join a celebration
Of neighbors & friends
Connecting again
Creating the new…
Of neighbors & friends
Connecting again
Creating the new
My neighbors & friends
I’m glad to come in
And be here
With you.
