Open a bible, light a candle beside it, and pray the gathering prayer below.
LEADER: I see the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God.
Its wall has 12 gates,
three facing east,
three facing north,
three facing south,
and three facing west.
Take turns naming the ethnic groups from whom you descend.
LEADER: We see no temple in the city of God.
ALL: The glory of the Holy One gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
