In all the beauty of languages, cultures, skin tones,
shapes and sizes, gifts and challenges 
that come together in your uniqueness,
you are welcome here.

In all the ways you experience and express gender, 
you are welcome here.

In the beauty that is who you love and how you love, 
you are welcome here.

In all the ways you make your living,
and the places you are from, 
you are welcome here.

With all of the traditions that inform your spiritual life,
you are welcome here.

a loving heart, and willing spirit.

We welcome you today.
