Wake, the Dawn Is Now Full Rising

HYMN TO JOY

CALL TO WORSHIP Amy Butler Young and old, sons and daughters of God, all you who are the diverse creations of God’s imagination and love, join in praise and thanksgiving as we worship the One who brings us together!

We come to this place, bringing our varied stories, our unique gifts, and our distinct calls to serve.

We come together in partnership and mission, knowing that we are called to be the church: to celebrate God’s presence, to serve others, to seek justice, to offer the hope of the Resurrected Christ.

We are called to be the body of Christ—a community of believers, a household of faith, a communion of saints, the people of the covenant.

We are called to the one hope of our high calling—one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God. As members of the body of Christ, we covenant together in this hour to build on our sure foundation of Jesus Christ our Lord and to seek the vision of Christ’s hope for the world.

Let us worship God! INVOCATION
