Call To Worship
*Processional Hymn 459 Lord, You Give the Great Commission Abbot’s Leigh
*Litany of Praise Lord God, Creator of all; you created us to be your people; free to love and to serve you. So we come to worship you with all our minds, with all our hearts and with all our strength. Lord Jesus Christ, Savior of all; you came as a child, gathered into the loving embrace of family. So we come celebrating the companionship of all those you have called to be your disciples. Gracious Spirit, Inspirer of all; eternally breathing Life into all of creation; you are endlessly giving, endlessly comforting. So we come to be still in your presence; to hear in the silence the whisper of God.
