The Light Calls Us to Worship Steve Hohler and Natalie Link

Prelude Kelley Georgiafandis

* Call Worship Pauline Malone

God called us forth in the beginning of creation.

God continues to call us to become God’s likeness.

We have been blessed with the wonder of God’s image.

We will share that image by our loving acts of kindness.

God’s glory is for all of God’s children.

We will help others to know of their value to God and to us.

*Prayer for the Day

Let us pray:

O God who created us in your own image and likeness:

Grant us the wisdom to take pride in who you made us to be

and not in the vain things we have adorned our lives with. Amen.

Passing of the Peace

The peace of Christ be with you!

And also with you!

*Hymn of Praise All People That on Earth Do Dwell

All people that on earth do dwell,

sing out your faith with cheerful voice.

Delight in God whose praise you tell,

whose presence calls you to rejoice.
