Lacey Hunter, our new Programs and Hospitality Manager, shared this poem Sunday at the start of our Fall Festival celebrating the LGBTQ+ work at Kirkridge.

Invocation

Come Father/Mother/Creator, Son/Daughter/Child, Holy Spirit/Holy Flame/Holy Breath
Come Flesh Created, Flesh Redeemed, Flesh Sustained
Come Queer One, Gay One, Unnamed One
Fluid One, Changing One, Ever-expanding One
Come Dreamer, Liberator and Healer
Rainbow-Maker, Riot-Shaker, and Pride-filled Waker
Come One Who Formed Us, Whose Form is Us and Who Transforms Us
Come Lover, Beloved and Be Love 
Amen.
