We know you are always with us.LEADER: But God, we hesitate to encounter you in all of your glory, afraid to be overwhelmed by your love and holiness. And yet, we know you are always with us in the fullness of your glory.ALL: Ready our hearts today to encounter more of your glory, your love, holiness, and glory that is always present with us. We come today to enter the dance of the all-consuming presence of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.Opening Hymn “Holy, Holy, Holy!
