*Call to Worship
We gather today as people of God, a community of Christ followers.
We gather to share Word and Sacrament, to discern the ways of faithful service.
Where in the world shall we serve our God?
At home and school, in businesses and in communities, throughout every land.
How in the world shall we serve our God?
By working toward justice where there is oppression, by offering comfort where there is
pain, by sharing love where there is hatred.
And why in the world shall we serve our God?
Because the Spirit beckons us, and Jesus calls us to enact our faith. Let us now worship
the one who calls us!
(by Ana & Tod Gobledale, Global Ministries Associates serving in United Kingdom)
