CALL
TO WORSHIP
May
the peace of Christ be with you.
And
also with you.
We
gather to celebrate God's presence, to be reminded of how God is
active in our world
We
gather to sing, to pray, to listen, to worship.
As
we gather, we turn to our neighbours to offer each other the peace of
Christ.
PRAYER
FOR AND ASSURANCE OF GRACE
God
of the ages, in our times of drought and struggle, those times we
feel abandoned
we
seek for a sign that you are with us, that you are indeed God.
God
of the ages, in a world filled with potential idols and gods,
we
know that sometimes we wander, we give our focus to the wrong things.
God
of the ages, in a world of viral videos and sound bite politics,
we
acknowledge that sometimes we want the “big show”, the
spectacular, the fireworks and glory.
God
of the ages, God of grace, God who moves within and amongst us
always,
open
our eyes to see the signs of your presence, open our souls to feel
your grace, open our hearts to share that grace with the world around
us.
God
of grace, active in the world, active in our lives,
we
sing songs of thanksgiving for your presence, help us listen for your
voice urging us forward.
Amen
