We're so glad you were with us this year!
O God, our heavenly Father, whose glory fills the whole creation,
and whose presence we find wherever we go: Preserve those who travel, in particular those returning home from the Sewanee Church Music Conference; surround them with your loving care; protect them from every danger; and bring them in safety to their journey's end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
