Matters of Interpretation

Call to Worship [Based on Psalm 29]

Glory! Glory! Glory!
The Glory of God fills Creation;
the Glory of God fills Creation with life;
the Glory of God fills time and space;
floods the world with beauty;
floods all things now living with meaning;
floods time with purpose;
the voice of God shouts and whispers in it all.
In this place and time
made holy by God’s presence –
In the splendor of this holiness –
Let us worship God!

^{Ascribe to THE HOLY ONE the glory of that name;
worship THE HOLY ONE in holy splendor.}

Psalm 29
