*Call to Worship
One: We
remember, O God…
All: The countless saints of history who have blazed a trail of courage
through time,
One: We remember, O God…
All: The tender touch of loved ones,
the example of heroes,
the healing words of comforters,
the remarkable acts of fearless ones.
One: We remember, O
God…
All: The gentle strength of grandmothers,
the loyalty of friends,
the kindness of strangers,
the joy of children,
the sacrifice of parents.
One: We
remember, O God…
All: The supreme love of Jesus,
the blessing of his Spirit,
the reminder of his words,
the sharing of his suffering,
the glory of his resurrection:
shown forth in the lives of his
disciples,
young and old, dead and
living,
articulate and silent, strange and
familiar,
brilliant and ordinary.
One: We remember in
every time and place the saints of God
who have
shown us the Lord.
All: Since we are surrounded by so
great a cloud of witnesses…
let us worship
God with joy!

God of love and uncountable blessings, we
bring our gifts this day in the sight of our cloud of witnesses — the saints
who have guided our lives and watch over our faithfulness from heaven’s
balcony. As we strive to live out their hope and faith in the promise of your
kingdom, may we also rededicate ourselves to live so this world better reflects
your kingdom and rule. In Christ, we pray. Amen.
