Call to Worship
Children of God, when wars and rumors of wars circle all around, Jesus says:
Do not be alarmed. This is not the end.
When earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, famines, and floods produce chaos and destruction, Jesus says:
Do not be alarmed. This is not the end.
When misinformation and disinformation try to dismantle relationships of trust in our families, churches, cities, and nation, Jesus says:
Do not be alarmed. This is not the end.
Children of God, whatever leaves you feeling unsteady, insecure, scared, and confused today--do not be alarmed. This is not the end.
We come to worship God, who inscribes our ending, our beginning, and everything in between in Love. Thanks be to God! Amen. +
