CALL TO WORSHIP   by Rev. Richard Bott

One:  In a world that cries out, “Fear me!”

All:     We will listen to Jesus’ words, “Don’t be afraid!”

One:  In a world that wants us to hate the other…

All:    We will live Jesus’ call to, “Love God. Love your neighbor, as you

           love yourself.”

One:  In a world that radicalizes…

All:    We, too, will be radical.

           Radical with our hospitality.

           Radical with our hope.

           Radical with our love.

One:  Then come to this place, ready to be who we are called to be.

All:     Let us gather together and worship God.

PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION

SCRIPTURE    Micah 6:6-8

With what should I approach the Lord and bow down before God on high Should I come before him with entirely burned offerings, with year-old calves? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with many torrents of oil? Should I give my oldest child for my crime; the fruit of my body for the sin of my spirit? He has told you, human one, what is good and  what the Lord requires from you: to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God.
