This call to worship originally appeared in "I Am—Lent 1: "I Am the Bread of Life."
Call to Worship:
Jesus says,
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened
and I will give you rest."
O Lord, we turn unfilled to you again.
Jesus says,
"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Our souls are restless until we find our rest in you.
—Matthew 11:28–30 NIV
