CALL TO WORSHIP  (responsive reading)

MaryAnn Rees

We approach the God of grace and glory,

who has called us to worship this day.

 

We arrive from the chaos of our world

into the clarity of God's presence.

 

We leave the struggles of our lives

to embrace the power of God's love.

 

May this hour bring us courage

and a time to strengthen our faith.
