Call to Worship

(inspired by Mark 1: 21-28)

As people,
as a group,
as a community of faith –
we gather in this place.
To listen.
to speak.
to worship.
to pray.
to be with God.
Because we know –
it is out of God’s authority,
it is out of God’s love,
that we live.
Alleluia!

Invocation:

Prayer of Invocation

(inspired by Mark 1:21-28)

Un-stop our ears, O God,

that we may hear your Word proclaimed this day. 

Open our minds and hearts to be changed. 

Free us from the unclean spirits of worry, fear, destruction, and pride. 

Teach us, Lord, that we may follow you more faithfully.

We remember how you once taught us to pray, and so we pray,
Our Father, who art in Heaven.....
