CALL to WORSHIP

Dr. Jevon Caldwell-Gross Leader: O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

People: Who is so great that we have to ask: who are we that you are mindful of us?

Leader: You made us just a smidgen lower than angels, People: And crowned us with glory and honor.

Leader: You made us rulers over the works of your hands, People: But not over each other!

Leader: You ask us to care for this world and one another as if you were doing so in our place.

All: O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

UNISON PRAYER

ALL: O Lord, come and meet me where I am as I worship you.

Help me not to shrink the world to my needs, but enlarge my world by your vision which sees the weak protected and the hungry and poor made full; where riches of creation are shared and different races and cultures live together in harmony; where peace is built with justice and justice is guided by love. Let this vision come to pass today in my hearing and then in my doing. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
