Call to Worship
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
—Psalm 46:1 NRSVUE
God's love surrounds us every day;
our God is merciful and gracious.
Turn your backs upon idols,
worship the Holy One of Israel.
Blessed are all who stand in awe before God;
happy are all who walk in his ways.
The love of God has chosen us,
the love of God unites us with all his people.
God is our judge and our source of life;
God is our comfort and our refuge.
God's Greeting
Amen.
We will magnify the name of the Lord.
