People:  We will mark your teaching and listen to the words you speak.  We will hear a story with meaning that we have heard and known, and our parents have repeated to us.  

PRAYER OF INVOCATION

Self-revealing God, we have come to know more of you even in the contemplation of the stories we have heard before in our childhood.  We come not only to hear your word but to seek the gifts of the Spirit to do your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen
