CALL TO WORSHIP
L: The Lord calls out to us: “Come, all you who are thirsty!”
P: We come now and drink!
L: The Lord calls out to us: “All you who have no money, come and
eat! Why labor in vain for that which does not satisfy?”
P: We come now for the wine and milk of your grace and mercy.
Feed us, Lord, with your truth.”
L: The Lord calls out to us: “My ways are higher than your ways. My
thoughts are like the canopy of sky overhead.”
P: Cover us, Lord, with your grace. Your ways are far above our
ways. We repent and believe again.
