A prayer...

O God, our heavenly Father, whose glory fills the whole creation, and whose presence we find wherever we go: Thank You for bringing us together. Preserve those who travel, and in particular our "From Houses to Homes" group traveling to Guatemala tomorrow. Surround us with your loving care; protect us from every danger; and bring us safely to our journey’s end; fill us with your Spirit and allow us to bring You to those we encounter on this journey; open our hearts as well so we may receive the gifts You offer us through those whose path we will cross on this journey. Thank you for the laughter, the joy, the friendship, the fellowship. Lifting this prayer in Your name, Amen.
