Prelude

*Processional

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: It is easy to stand here in the valley of our comfort.
All: We know what to expect and what is expected of us.
Leader: But Christ calls us to the mountain top to receive a new vision.
All: We are not sure we are ready for that.
Leader: Place your hope and trust in Christ, for He is your guide.
All: Let us open our hearts to Christ, ready for the vision he places before us. AMEN.
