Welcome

Prelude/Time of Meditation

Call to Worship (Responsively)*

God has called each one of us to serve, using the   
  gifts we have been given.
  I don’t know where to start.
  Place your trust in the Holy Spirit to guide you.
  What if I fail?
  God is with you – place your trust in God’s presence.
