Here’s
a responsive opening for worship inspired by Luke 19: 1-10 (the story of
Zacchaeus) and other gospel stories which tell of the crowds who sought Jesus out.
Call to Worship
(inspired by Luke 19:
1-10)
With
the pressing crowds, searching for healing and hope,
We wish to see Jesus.
With
the pushed out and cast aside, with the lonely lost, stripped of pride,
We wish to see Jesus.
With
those who seek mystery and meaning, wisdom and grace,
We wish to see Jesus.
