Call to Worship - Rev. Jeanie Barnes

We have one life, a gift from God
May we live this life for God by loving others.
Let’s turn away from the temptations of wealth and power.
Let’s turn away from the foolishness of the world.
Let’s come now into this time of worship to turn our focus toward God.
Let’s come now to seek forgiveness, do justice, and love our neighbor as ourselves.
Come now to give thanks and praise to God.  Amen.
