This Sunday we are holding an Economic Justice Sunday as we kick-off our drive for our mission trip to Maine this summer to repair houses through MATE.
For that worship service, here is a Call to Worship and an Invocation:
CALL TO WORSHIP – Based Psalm 69
Pastor: Save us, O God. The water is up to our neck.
People: We are sinking with nowhere to place our feet.
Pastor: The water is deep
People: and our voice is being drowned out in the tumult.
Pastor: Hear, O God, our cumulative cries.
People: Respond to those in peril and send angels to their sides.
Pastor: If we are among the troubled, bring us peace and justice.
People: If we are among those already in peace, bring us purpose and perspective.
INVOCATION: –
Holy One, In our time together this morning, press open our hearts to the pain and pressures of life that others are bearing. Let us hear the cries of those being overwhelmed by the world around them. Shake us from complacency. Move us to action. Forgive us when we justify inequity. Inspire us to act as your emissaries in this world, and let us become a part of your healing balm. Be with us as we are awakened to and reminded of the harsh realities that exist in world today. AMEN
