CALL TO WORSHIP                                                               Elder LaVerne Brown

In these moments, in this family of faith, the God of gentleness gathers us together.

Hoping that our self-righteous anger might become passionate justice for others.

In this place, in that Body shaped by his grace, Christ, the Bread of life, calls us to service.

Hoping our comfort level of complacency might be transformed into compassion for the needy all around us.

In our hearts, our mouths, our actions, the Spirit of holiness gifts us with truth,

Hoping our comfort level of complacency might be transformed into compassion for the needy all around us.

In our hearts, our mouths, our actions, the Spirit of holiness gifts us with truth,

Hoping our faltering, fumbling words might be transfigured into good news.
