Call to Worship (from Psalm 136)
One: Hints and whispers abound. God seeks us where we are.
All: A voice calls our name in the twilight of sleep.
One: A call seen in the outstretched hands of the poor.
All: A new dawning of insight while at prayer.
One: An internal shift of perceptions that is felt in the heart.
All: A joyous peace in the midst of adversity.
One: A lifting of a burden, a flood of tears, a bushel of laughter.
All: God is so near: guardian and friend who speaks to us.
