CALL TO WORSHIP
Here in this sanctuary,
we remember, o God, your gift of life to each of us;
and we seek to carry it to the streets-
wherever there is death and violence
wherever there is grief and loss.
Here in this sanctuary,
we remember, O God, your invitation to belong and find shelter;
and seek to carry it to the streets-
wherever there is loneliness and rejection
wherever there is homelessness and people are displaced.
Here in this sanctuary
we remember, o God, your reign of justice and righteousness;
and we seek to carry it to the streets-
wherever there is lawlessness or tyranny
wherever there is corruption and oppression.
Here in this sanctuary
we remember, O God, your sacrifice of love and mercy;
and we seek to carry it to the streets-
wherever there is hatred and evil
wherever there is homelessness, regret, and guilt.
Here in this sanctuary, we remember all that you have done for us, O God,
we remember also your call to live what we sing and pray.
And so we commit ourselves again
to carry our worship from the sanctuary to the streets.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
OPENING MUSIC: “Lift Every Voice and Sing” #519 UMH
OPENING PRAYER:
O God, keep our whole country under your protection.
Wipe out sin from this land;
lift it up from the depth of sorrow, O Lord, our shining light.
Save us from deep grief and misfortune, Lord of all nations.
Bless us with your wisdom,
so that the poor may not be oppressed
and the rich may not be oppressors.
Make this a nation having no ruler except God,
a nation having no authority but that of love. Amen
