PRELUDE Almarie Dieckow
*CALL TO WORSHIP Rekha Meyer
One: We are together today because Christ has claimed us. We are called to be the body of Christ in today’s world.
All: Who are we to make such a claim? Who would see Jesus Christ when they look at us?
One: It is not our claim that brings us together. The church is not our private club.
All: We are not here just for ourselves, for our own needs. We are drawn together by a larger purpose.
One: We have been called by Christ for a mission. The gathered community is sent out into the world.
All: We are here to be equipped for ministry. We have been chosen as apostles of good news.
