Call to Worship Sam Hodges
Are you awake? Are you alert?
Christ is coming into our lives in a new way.
Are you watching the signs?
Are you interpreting what is happening today?
Christ is coming into our lives in a new way.
Do you see opportunities for ministry?
Do you see the poor, the homeless, the hungry, the needy?
Christ is coming into our lives in a new way.
Come, let us worship and let us work in the reign of God.
Christ has extended the invitation:
let us work together in the reign of God on earth.
Hymn “Lift Every Voice and Sing” UMH 519
Lift ev'ry voice and sing ‘til earth and heaven ring, ring with the harmonies
of liberty; let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies, let it resound loud
as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us;
sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; facing the rising
sun of our new day begun, let us march on 'til victory is won.
Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, felt in the days when hope
unborn had died; yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the
place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has
been watered; we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
out from the gloomy past, ‘till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our
bright star is cast.
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, thou who has brought us thus far
on the way; thou who has by thy might led us into the light, keep us forever in the
path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee;
lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee; shadowed beneath
thy hand, may we forever stand, true to our God true to our native land.

(Praying for what is shared on FB Live.)
Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever.Amen
