Entering into worship

*Call to Worship

One: God’s call is like

All: the clear sounding of a bell that raises us to our feet, the eyes of a

child that reach to our souls, the frayed edges of a dream that won’t go

away, the invisible touch of Jesus that heals our hurt.

One: God’s call is still ringing in this world.

All: God’s love is surrounding us now and prompting us to sing.

Moving to Prayer

Sharing Our Joys and Concerns

Silent Prayer / Pastoral Prayer / Lord’s Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we

forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
