Call
to worship
(inspired
by Romans 13: 11-14 and Matthew 24: 36-44)
We are called to wake
from sleep,
to wake up and hear,
to wake up and see.
What has the Lord to
show to us?
A new life,
a new world,
a different set of
priorities,
freedom from the
tyranny
of desiring and
acquiring.
Wake up,
wake up!
Hear the invitation
that echoes down the
centuries.
Welcome the Way of
Christ
and find freedom.
Opening
Prayer
Not when the
mountains shake,
or the seas roar,
or the clouds part to
reveal You,
Holy One,
but here and now,
on this one ordinary
day,
we will wait and
watch
for You will surely
come to us.
Amen.
