Call To Worship
Leader: Greetings! The year is not quite so new. But we’re glad for the breath of life and for the opportunity to gather in this place.
People: We enjoy being together and we anticipate hearing God and responding with music, silence, and words.
Leader: Here we learn the teachings of Jesus, and we can practice them with each other.
People: It’s easy to love one another here; it’s easy to share our money and our clothes, our food and our homes.
Leader: It’s not so easy, though, to practice at work and at city council Jesus’ message: Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you; don’t retaliate; give your shirt.
People: Nor is it easy to be kind to family members when they have betrayed us, as Joseph was with his brothers who sold him!
Leader: Thank God, we can be forgiven…
