Call to Worship
Pastor: The threat of persecution is always a possibility for the Christian.
People: The history of Christianity reveals that aspect of the Christian faith repeatedly.
Pastor: Our Lord would have us believe that such an experience is an opportunity to witness to others, rather than worry about what will happen to us.
People: We believe we are in God's care; therefore we do not want self-concern to hinder the testimony of our faith.
