Call to Worship
O God of creation, who was before there was . . .
We gather to praise your holy name and to celebrate the revelation of yourself to us.
O God of light and life, who was before there was . . .
It is through your true Light that we are able to see the truth of your saving love.
O God of silence and sound, who was before there was . . .
We thank you for your eternal Word, who speaks to us in our acts of worship.
O God of time and eternity, who was before there was . . .
Come afresh, come anew, come again, come now. O come, O come, Immanuel!
