Call to Worship
Leader: In this world of
security gates,
self-sufficiency, and internet passwords,
All: we gather to worship;
People: to listen for the voice of Jesus who calls our name,
to witness to the One
who walks through locked doors,
Leader: to wonder at the scarred hands that rest gently
on our heads, hearing Jesus say to each of us:
All: Peace be with you.

Resurrected Jesus,
who births us into a living hope
and an imperishable, undefiled, and unfading inheritance,
