God of all creation,
for You, a thousand years are like a single day.
Guard and guide planet Earth and hold all people dear
as we spin and circle into a new era of time.
May we live the values of Hospitality, Stewardship,
Respect and Justice
as we trust Your grace to be sufficient for us
in creating organizations of justice and peace.
This we ask through Jesus, the Christ,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
