CALL TO WORSHIP

In worship what does the Lord require of us?
All: To do justice, love kindness, and live humbly with God.

In our life together as the body of Christ, what does God desire of us?
All: To do justice, love kindness, and live humbly with God.

When we share the good news with all creation, what does God desire of us?
All: To do justice, love kindness, and live humbly with God.

Come, let us worship God with justice, kindness, and humility!
