Welcome
Call to Worship
One: Gather the people. Prepare a holy meeting.
Many: Today, we acknowledge the fragility and preciousness of life.
One: Gather the people. Return to God with our whole selves–mind, body,
and spirit.
Many: We rend our hearts not our clothes. We open ourselves to the
pain of the world with compassion and grace in the way of Jesus.
One: Gather the people. Seek the Holy One gathered with us.
Many: We offer a sacrifice of praise. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, we are
here to worship!
