*CALL TO WORSHIP Allen Davison
One: We gather in this place, some empty, some filled, some whole, some broken:
Many: yearning for the Holy Spirit to fill us.
One: We come, with these ordinary people, who have shown us the way:
Many: trusting that God will continue to illumine our hearts.
One: We surround the Table of grace so we might be fed by the Bread of life:
Many: that graced, we may serve others; that healed, we may bring hope to the world.

Lord’s Prayer (use debts)
Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done,
On Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Forever. Amen.
