There is Strength in Community

As we gather today, may we find strength in community. 

May we feel a sense of connection and belonging with others that walk our shared path. 

May we find the support we need amongst our neighbors to persevere when we grow wary. 

May we look to our community to challenge us to grow and expand in what we believe to be possible. 

May we find strength in community so that we might continue to seek justice for ourselves and for others. May we find co-conspirators among us. 

And, as we gather today, may we feel gratitude for this community and may we work together to continue fulfilling our purpose, doing this work we have been called to do.
