Here’s a call to worship and opening prayer for Memorial
Day or Remembrance Day. It was written

Call to Worship &
Opening Prayer
On this day of memory we gather to sing and to pray,
we remember the past and look to
the future.
On this day when the guns once fell silent,
We come before you God, seeking
Your peace.
On this day of hope in the face of terror,
We come before you God, praying
with all our hearts:
God our help in ages past, our hope for years to come.
Help us to find the path that
leads to the Peaceable kingdom.
Open our eyes and the eyes of the
nations
to find a different path through
the disagreements of life in this world.
In this time of story, song, and prayer,
may we be re-committed to being
people of Peace, true peace.
May we catch a vision of how the
world could live together.
And so we echo the old prayers,
Make us channels of your peace.
Let there be Peace on Earth and
let it begin with us! Amen
