Call To Worship
Leader: It’s Sunday again! So soon! It’s good to be together. It’s a good day to praise God and to catch up with one another. In our scriptures today, there are verses from Sirach in the apocrypha that describe conversation: “Never praise anyone until you hear that person talk!”
People: We talk with each other often, and we are aware that our words indicate our characters and our attitudes about life.
Leader: We can be honest with one another about our thoughts, and we can be honest with God about our doubts!
People: We choose not to be with people who insult others or start arguments.
Leader: Together, we are authentic. We will listen for the Word from God, and we will respond in one way or another!
People: Let’s pray and sing!
