Calls to worship

The calls to worship below were written by Pamela, Jane, Andrew, Miriam and James as part of a Liturgy Resource activity on December 19, 2021.

Pamela remembered this call to worship:

Jesus, stand among us
in thy risen power.
Let this time of worship
be a hallowed hour.

…

Inspired by Psalm 27

Let us wait on God.
Be of good courage.
God will strengthen our hearts.
Let us wait. 

Silence. 

…

Let us gather,
knowing and believing in God’s goodness.

…

This morning as we worship,
let us sing and make melody to Our God.

…

Do not lose heart but believe.
God is steadfast.

or

Take heart, believe.
God is faithful.

…

Do not be afraid.
God is our stronghold.

…

Come.
Bring your questions, doubts, struggles
into the house of God.

Inspired by Psalm 99

Exalt the God of love,
the God of justice, equity and promise.
Let us worship God.

…

The holy One is here.
Let us be filled with awe.

…

Cry out to Our God;
God responds to us.

Inspired by Psalm 132

Let us make a place of welcome and safety.
Let us make a place for God.
