In this place, among these people,
God is worshipped, God is praised.
We have seen the signs and wonders;
the lost are found here, the dead are raised.
We are living the Gospel story;
lives are changed, and mountains moved.
Won’t you come and work among us?
You are welcomed, you are loved.
*Call to Worship
One: The God of our ancestors has led us to this place.
All: We are witnesses.
One: We have sworn to teach God’s promises to all generations.
All: We are witnesses.
One: The time is coming when Christ will come again in glory.
All: We are witnesses.
One: Let us tell the world of God’s faithful love.
All: We will worship and witness together!
