Processional Hymn # 440 For All Your Blessings
Welcome & Acknowledgment of Land
Call to Worship:
All praise to you, God most holy;
O mystery of mercy, O surprise of love. All was falling and loss. All was lost and death. Jesus our hope was murdered. All was buried and gone. But, O God, in wild abandon, in foolish wisdom, you raised Christ our hope from death to life. In Christ’s rebirth, you shouted pardon. A new creation. To all the world and to us new worth is given. O God of mystery, O surprise of love. Amen.
(Seasons of the Spirit)
(We prepare our hearts for worship in silence)
