Welcome

Call to worship:
One: Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming, it is near.

Many: Gather the people to turn to the Holy One who is gracious, merciful, and
abounding love.

One: Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy mountain! The days are bleak and
filled with gloom yet rend your hearts and not your clothing.

Many: Feast on righteousness and fast from hopeless, apathy, and despair. Even now,
God calls us to reflect, repent, and return.

One: Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Why should it be said
among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?'”

Many: Declare the sovereignty of God in word and deed, in compassion and solidarity,
in trust and faith! Blow the trumpet! Sound the alarm!
