November 23rd Worship Service

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 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: Blessed be the Holy One,
All: Who looks upon us with love and mercy.
Leader: Blessed be the Holy One,
All: Who sends us a Savior to rescue us from despair.

Leader: Blessed be the Holy One,
