Welcome
Call to Worship
Beloved, the Savior calls to you. Will you follow?
God, help us leave everything and follow.
Christ’s call persists through the clouds of doubt, fear, and worry that descend on our path. Will you follow?
God, help us leave everything and follow.
Jesus calls us to shift our priorities, to leave behind the baggage of prejudice and the grasping for position so we can truly love God and our neighbors well. Will you follow?
God, help us leave everything and follow.
Beloved, receive this good news: you are not alone! Today we answer Christ’s call together!
God, help us leave everything and follow your path of Love everywhere we go!
Amen.

Joys and Concerns and Prayers with The Lord’s Prayer
Loving God, in whom is heaven, may Your name be honored everywhere. May Your kin-dom come. May the desire of Your heart for the world be done, in us, by us and through us. Give us the bread we need for each day. Forgive us. Enable us to forgive others. Keep us from all anxiety and fear. For You reign in the power that comes from love which is Your glory forever and ever. Amen.
