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
Leader: Happy are those who are poor because God’s kingdom belongs to them.
All: Happy are those who are hungry because they will be satisfied.
Leader: Happy are those who weep because they will laugh.
All: Happy are those who are rejected, insulted, and condemned because of Jesus. They will have great reward.
Leader: Their ancestors did the same things to the prophets.
All: The Son of Man lifts up the poor, feeds the hungry, comforts those who mourn, and seeks out the lost.
