Open a bible and light a candle beside it. Share with one another your own experiences of those who have taught and modeled for you standards and styles of greatness. Then pray the gathering prayer together.
LEADER: God of all greatness, help us to recognize and to welcome you in all those who struggle or who are vulnerable, little, or disenfranchised in any way.
ALL: Show us the way to greatness in the daily gentleness and generosity with which we do justice, love tenderly, and walk humbly with you and with your chosen ones. Amen.
