Call To Worship

One: In the beginning,
before time, before people,
before the world began,

Many: God was.

One: Here and now,
among us, beside us,
Clearer than air, closer than breathing,

Many: God is.

One: In all that is to come,
when we have turned to dust
and human knowledge has been completed,

Many: God will be.

One: Not despairing of the earth, but delighting in it,
not condemning the world, but redeeming it through Jesus
Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit,

Many: God was, God is, God will be.

*Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
