"Our Creator Who Art in Heaven ..."

At Ten Reason, Rich Leonardi notes that a parish in his area had A Prayer for Independence Day that begins with the "genderless invocation"
God our Creator...

rather than, say, God our Father.

At my parish, the Daily Prayer we received in connection with the latest triennial debt reduction campaign goes a step farther.
Creator Spririt, present within us each day of our lives, we thank you that you have called us by name over and over again. ...

Actually, it's the fund-raising that calls us over and over again, such as when the prayer concludes
Bless St. Alphonsus Parish as we prayerfully respond to our Gathering In Reaching Out Appeal.
