Welcome Prayer Pastoral prayer by

Clarke Dewey Wells setting for SATB chorus, a capella Duration: ca. 3 minutes (2013)

Welcome to this house of continuity, sacred memories, aspirations, hope. A place of anchorage, criterion, perspective; open to larger resources of mind and spirit, Acknowledging mystery, reflecting a glory beyond our own devising. A place of peace and deep quiet to invite the centering of our souls.


Welcome Prayer for Susan Swaney and the choir of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington, Indiana
