CALL TO WORSHIP* Here in this place
Is bread to ease our hunger.
Water to mark our acceptance, Touch to open us to healing.
A chalice to announce our forgiveness, A prayer to link us to the Divine,
A friend to ease our loneliness, A song to awaken our joy.***
PRAYER OF INVOCATION*
Gracious God, your Son sowed your seeds of love and grace. Through the power of your Holy Spirit, weed out the things in our lives which choke out your Word. Transform the hardness of our hearts, to nurture the seeds that falls upon them, that we may become the good earth, yielding the fruits of your Word. On Christ’s name we pray. Amen. ***
