Dear Church Family and Friends,

Call to Worship
We gather to worship God,
Who creates us and loves us;
Who gifts us with diversity and creates us to live in community;
Who gives Jesus Christ to show us how to live;
Who inspires children, youth, young adults, and people of all ages,
To seek justice, share power, and live together in love and equality;
Who invites us to join the struggle for wholeness and wellbeing for all,
and whose presence, grace, and love sustain us in our living.
We gather to worship God.
To God be all glory, honor, and praise!

Opening Prayer (Unison)
In our meeting together today, let us remember that we worship the God who created this world, the God who spoke through his prophets from generation to generation, led his people from captivity to liberty, healed the sick, fed the hungry and was faithful even when faced with rejection. The same God who wants all people to be drawn to his love and grace, to know his forgiveness and the joy of his Salvation. Let us put aside all that hinders and join together in worship and praise. Amen.

Let There Be Peace On Earth
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me
Let There Be Peace on Earth The peace that was meant to be
With God our Creator, family all are we. Let us walk with each other
In perfect harmony. Let peace begin with me. Let this be the moment now.
With every step I take, let this be my solemn vow. To take each moment and live
Each moment in peace eternally, let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me
