CALL TO WORSHIP
As people of God, we are comforted and challenged by Jesus.
Jesus Christ calls us to demonstrate our faith in our daily living.
In Christ we affirm and encourage the gifts of everyone.
Together we engage with the community in acts of
compassion and service.
Come, let us worship God.
Let us participate in the ongoing glory of God’s grace and goodness.
* HYMN #395 “Come In, Come In And Sit Down”
PRAYER OF APPROACH
Hold us close, Creator God, and whisper your word of love and
transformation into our hearts. Reveal your Christ at work in the
world among us, and give us the courage to listen and follow as
we pray together saying Our Father …...Amen.
