Call to Worship - Ginny Ellis

 In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth,

the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep

Then a wind, a spirit, a breath, from God swept over the face of the waters.

That's how creation began, with wind, with light and darkness,

with day and night, and above all, with God.

and there was evening and there was morning a first day.
