May the light of God shine on us today.
May the light of God shine on us today.
May it show us where to travel, lead us back if we should stray;
May the light of God shine on us today.
May the love of God live in us today.
May the love of God live in us today.
May the warmth we feel within us show in all we do and say.
May the love of God live in us today.
May the peace of God be with us today.
May the peace of God be with us today.
May it guide us and protect us as we go our sep'rate ways,
May the peace of God be with us,
May the love of God live in us,
May the light of God shine on us today and ev'ry day!

We gather on the traditional territory of the Wendat, the Anishnaabeg and the Haudenosaunee Peoples. We are also on lands that are part of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum. We live and work, worship, learn and meet on lands that are the traditional territory of many different Indigenous Peoples who were here before the establishment of European colonies.
