CALL TO WORSHIP            The Reverend David G. Carpenter

Come, all who labor and are weighed down with responsibility, uncertainty, worry.

We come because the load we carry is heavier than we can bear alone.

Come, all you who seek to relate work and worship, leisure and service,
into a meaningful whole.

We gather for spiritual renewal and practical challenge, for help in making
choices and carrying out our commitments.

Come, sinner and saint, with your hatreds and loves, your failures and successes,
your sorrow and joys.

We respond to the Spirit’s leading and open ourselves to receive
God’s gracious gifts.

ALL:  Come, Let Us Serve & Worship God!
