Order of worship
PRELUDE: Amy Kraft
WELCOME AND GREETINGS: Pastor Evelyn
*CALL TO WORSHIP: Patty James
Come and worship!
We will praise the One between, within, and over.
Trust in the One who co-creates the was, the now, and the will-be.
Our hope is in the One who creates expansive love calling us to do the same.
Follow the One who never breaks covenant.
We follow the One whose extravagant love calls us to co-create justice for the oppressed,
feed the hungry, unlock prisons, and welcome strangers, orphans, and widows.
Praise the One whose justice is grace-full and inclusive.
We praise the Spirit that spans the ages. Amen!
*OPENING PRAYER (unison)
Lord Jesus, teach me to be generous; teach me to serve you as you deserve, to give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the wounds, to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to seek reward, except that of knowing that I do your will. Amen.
(St. Ignatius Loyola)
