CALL TO WORSHIP (responsive reading)
Donna McCoy
The heavens are telling the glory of God.
The firmament proclaims God's handiwork.
Day pours forth speech,
and night declares knowledge of our God.
God's wisdom is written in the stars.
It is seen and heard to the ends of the earth.
When we see God's teachings in the clouds,
or hear them in the symphonies of the birds,
our minds are enriched,
our eyes are enlightened,
our souls are revived,
and our hearts rejoice.
Then we shall bless God's name with our words,
and with the silence between them.
