Call to Worship - Rev. Jeanie Barnes

God’s Word comes to us in the alarm clock – waking us up to an entirely new and unlived day.
Praise God for a new day!
The Word comes to us in nature: in sunshine and wind, in rainstorms and rainbows.
Praise God for the awe and the mystery!
The Word of God comes to us in street signs: Stop, Go, Yield the Right of Way.
Praise God for keeping us going!
It comes to all of us: a group of people united in task.
Praise God for the Church!
It comes to us as Love. The Love of God which passes all understanding.
The love which wakes us, shakes us and gives us courage to live.  Praise to the God of Love!
