We bid you welcome, who come with weary spirit seeking rest. Who come with troubles that are too much for you. Who come hurt and afraid.
We bid you welcome, who come with hope in your heart. Who come with anticipation in your step, who come proud and joyous. We bid you welcome, who are seekers of a new faith. Who come to probe and explore. Who come to learn. We bid you welcome, who enter this hall as a homecoming. Who have found here room for your spirit. Who find in this people a family. Whoever you are, whatever you are, wherever you are on your journey, we bid you welcome. Richard S. Gilbert |
