ANNOUNCEMENTS Paule Ralph
CALL TO WORSHIP Paule Ralph
Creator, you bless us with the heavenly lights
— the moon that waxes and wanes,
the planets that whirl around the sun,
the galaxies that wink from afar.
In the darkness you call out, "Let there be light,"
and the universe is filled with heavenly light.
You are our creator, too,
the One who formed us and who forms us still.
May your word of truth ring out today with your call to new life!
Amen.
