Call to Worship (based on Isaiah 65:17-25)
God is creating
Creating a new heavens and a new earth
God is sharing a vision
A vision of joy and gladness
A vision of peace and well-being
A vision of beauty and grace
God is answering
God is hearing
Answering calls for justice
Hearing words of praise and thanksgiving
Let us seek God where God may be found
Here God is creating, revealing, answering, hearing
Hallelujah! Let us worship God!
For I am about to create new heavens
Isaiah 65:17
and a new earth;
