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: We come as children of God.
All: We come, unsure where to seek God’s presence.
Leader: The wind blows,
All: But God is not in the wind.
Leader: The earth quakes,
All: But God is not in the earthquake.
Leader: The fire burns,
All: But God is not in the flame.
Leader: There is nothing but utter stillness.
All: God is there in the silence.
