CALL TO WORSHIP The Reverend David G. Carpenter
Follow God’s signs to the place of worship and open your hearts with praise and thanksgiving. The beauty of spring flowers, the chorus of birdsong, the glimmer of sunrise,
Invite us to worship God, creator and sustainer of life.
The smiles and laughter of children at play,
Invite us to worship God, who wishes us to enjoy life to the full.
The struggle of persons who are sick or enduring life’s trials,
Invite us to worship God, whose way is compassion and wholeness.
The crying needs of our broken world and stretched resources,
Invite us to worship God, the source of justice and mercy for all people.
And our ongoing journey to be a better child, parent, sibling, friend, colleague, spouse, neighbor, citizen,
Invites us to worship the God of Relationships, who created us to learn about God, about ourselves, about life itself, as we invest our lives in those whom God has placed around us.
Come, let us worship the one who created us to live and love, to flourish in community.
ALL: Come, let us worship God.
