Call to Worship Macy Steckley
One: Come, let us gather with a spirit of gratitude for what is alive in each of us; for the fullness of life outside of us; for the wildness of life that we are invited into.
Many: Let us come together with joyful hearts to worship God our Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer! Amen.
Opening Prayer (in unison) Macy Steckley
God of love, you created all people with amazing diversity: by your grace, guide us to recognize the belovedness and worth of all whom you have made. Give us the generosity of spirit to recognize your face in all people, and to practice your command to love one another, that we may bring peace among all persons of all colors, origins, and abilities; amen.

May God bless you and keep you; may God’s face shine upon you and be gracious unto you; may God’s countenance be lifted upon you and give you peace, from this day forth and forevermore.
