Call to Worship* (Responsively)

We are called to share a new understanding of God: that God so loves the world.

We are the salt of the earth.

We are called to bring a new hope in God: that God gives us new life.

We are the light of the world.

We are called to follow the commandments and the law.

The Law of God is to love God and to love one another.

Come, let us be the salt of the earth, the light of the world.

Come, let us love one another with the love of God.

Let us join together in our love of God to worship and follow Jesus. Amen.

Sending Forth       “The Family of God”              Hymn 138*

    I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God--
    I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood!
    Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod--
    For I’m part of the family, the family of God.
