          Call to Worship Lyna Wilkins
One: Come, a great cloud of witnesses surrounds us as we gather.
Many: May the lingering echo of saints resound in our worship.
One: May the memory of those we have lost open a space for the Spirit to enter us anew.
Many: In remembering them, may we find joy and peace.
One: May the God of every generation form us anew.
Many: And may a new joy rise in our lives and in the life of the world! Amen!
 
Opening Prayer (in unison) Lyna Wilkins
God of love, today we come to you for comfort and healing as we boldly proclaim together the promise of the resurrection in Christ our Lord. Comfort us in our grief and remind us that your Communion Table stretches from the church altar to the communion of saints. Amen.
