Call to Worship [Based very slightly on Ephesians 4:25-5:2]
As God’s children, let us come together to worship;
Let us praise God for what God in Christ has done for us;
Let us listen for the Word of God
and learn from what God shows us
of the depth of love and the greatness of life;
Let us renew our desire to live in love as Christ loved us!
Alleluia! Let us worship God!
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children
Ephesians 5:1-2
and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us,
a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
