Father, We thank you for bringing us together tonight to learn more about your ways.

you have gathered us here this day to understand more deeply the mystery of your love for us.
We ask for your help to overcome our shyness and fears of meeting new people.
We ask for your guidance, and your blessings, as we begin this new year of classes.
Show us how to gather in your name, so that we might worship you in spirit and in truth.
