Call to Worship –
Leader: Seek the Lord while God is to be found!
People: Call upon God while God is near! Repent of unrighteous ways.
Leader: It is never too late to turn to God! Get rid of evil thoughts. Let us turn to God, that God may have mercy on us! For God will pardon our sins and cleanse us of our transgressions.
ALL: We will praise God for the new life we have found! Alleluia!
Opening Prayer (Unison): God our Redeemer, you promise deliverance to those who love you. Draw unto us as we draw unto you in worship. Open our eyes to see, our ears to hear, our minds to comprehend, and our spirits to encounter the revelation you have for us this day. Transform us with the truth of your love and grace, in the name of the one who loved us and gave his life for us. Amen.
