Call to worship
One: In worship God bends down to the dust, and
we are formed anew.
Many: We breathe in the divine breath and remember
that we are living beings.
One: In worship we give thanks for the wonders of
God’s creation:
Many: flowing waters and fruit-filled trees, animals of
the field, and birds of the air.
One: In worship we gather with each other,
Many: our helpers and partners in this life of faith.
One: Let us give thanks for this time of worship.
Many: Let us receive God’s breath of life.
