Welcome

Gathering Hymn – Here We Have Gathered (words in the video)

Call to Worship
We are summoned to this time of gathering
To be with each other in faith
We are invited to a time of contemplation and prayer
To explore more deeply our shared faith
We are offered an opportunity for community
To know we are not alone even when we are separated from one another
We are called to the great challenge of all faith
To make real what we hold as possible and true in our hearts and minds and spirits
We are promised that if we accept the summons, the invitation, the offer, the call
We and the whole world around us and the whole world beyond us will be transformed by divine love.
