Call to Worship
(inspired by Psalm 51: 1-17)
God of salvation’s joy,
we gather to celebrate and
revere you.
We come, realising that we are broken.
We come, realising that we are broken.
Forgive and re-create us.
God of unfailing love,
God of unfailing love,
we gather to worship and
honour you.
We come, and because of your compassion,
We come, and because of your compassion,
forgive and renew us.
God of new beginnings,
God of new beginnings,
we gather to praise and
thank you.
We come, and through your grace and mercy,
We come, and through your grace and mercy,
forgive and restore us,
so that with clean hearts we may truly
worship you.
Amen.
