In this place, among these people
God is worshipped, God is praised
We have seen the signs and wonders;
The lost are found, 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
Leader: No matter how far we wander from you, O’ God,
All: Your steadfast love finds us.
Leader: No matter how unjust the world seems to us, O’ God,
All: Your steadfast righteousness sustains us.
Leader: No matter how vulnerable our lives seem to us, O’ God,
All: Your steadfast presence give us hope.

All: You hear our cries and answer our prayers. Thanks be to God!
