Blessed be God, who has created all things, who walks beside us always, and who provides for all our needs.

Friends in faith, today we seek God’s blessing as we gather with thankfulness to bless this place of healing, the people who work here, and all those who enter these doors seeking renewed health.

A candle is lit …

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will have the light of life” and  “You are like light for the whole world…  No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl; instead they put it on the lamp stand, where it gives light for everyone in the house.  In the same way your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”

Let us pray. O God, as this candle gives light to this building, so enable those who work here to be your light in the world.  We pray in Jesus’ name.  Amen

Gathering at the entry doors …

A reading from the Psalm 121, “The Lord will watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time forth forevermore.”

Let us pray.  O God, watch over Vince, Jill & Ty as they come and go through these doors.  Keep all evil away from their door.  Help them to share the gift of hospitality with all who visit, that those who enter here may know your love and peace.  We pray in Jesus’ name.  Amen
Gathering in the reception room …

A reading from Romans, St. Paul writes, “Welcome one another, therefore, as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.”

Let us pray.  O God, bless all who visit this place.  May they find here warmth and peace, care and healing.  We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen

Gathering in the workout area …

A reading from Psalm 139, “You yourself created my inmost parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I will thank you because I am marvelously made; your works are wonderful and I know it well.”

Let us pray.  O God, you revealed yourself in human flesh, making holy what is ordinary and earthly.  Bless all those who come here to care for their ordinary, yet marvelous bodies.  Fill Vince & Ty & Jill with wisdom as they guide their clients, train them in methods self-care and increase the strength of their bodies.  We pray in Jesus’ name.  Amen

Gathering in Vince’s treatment room …

A reading from 1 Corinthians, “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given … wisdom, and to another … knowledge … to another faith … to another gifts of healing … to another the working of miracles …”

Let us pray. O God, you have blessed Vince & Ty & Jill with gifts of healing.  Continue to pour out your blessings upon them that they may pass along your healing power to those who come for treatment.  Fill this place with your Spirit that all who are weary and carrying heavy burdens may come here and find rest.  We pray in Jesus’ name.  Amen

Gathering in the office/study downstairs …

A reading from Proverbs 9, “Give instruction to the wise and they will be still wiser; teach the righteous and they will increase in learning.”

Let us pray.  O God, you are the teacher who leads us to all truth.  Grant that Vince & Ty & Jill and their clients who learn in this place may use knowledge in accordance with your will, to bring peace and healing to all people.  May the technology of this place bring people together and aid in the service of all people, that every good purpose will be fulfilled through your power.  We pray in Jesus’ name.  Amen

Returning to the reception area or entry doors …

We give you thanks, O God, for Vince & Jill & Ty and for the work they do here at Corpo Bene.  We ask you to bless the fruits of their work, as we dedicate this facility to your glory and praise.  Grant us faith to know your gracious purpose in all things, and continue your blessings to us through the bounty of your creation.  We pray in the presence, promises and power of the one who creates, redeems, and sanctifies us all.  Amen

The candle is extinguished.
