We Gather to Worship God
Welcome
and *greeting one another with the Peace of Christ.
*Call to Worship
People of summer, gather
your hearts for worship.
We
bring our hearts, and all the love and pain in them.
People of sunshine and
rain, gather your minds for worship.
We
gather our minds, and all the thoughts and doubts inside.
People of growing
things, gather your spirits
for worship in this
place.
Our
spirits are gathered, our minds and hearts are ready!
Let us
worship God!
