WE GATHER

Welcome & Announcements (Elder Bob Weller)

Prelude: I Love to Tell the Story arr. by Bill Wolaver (Marianna Gill)

Threshold Moment – Entering the Journey (Rev. Eric Brotheridge)

Call to Worship (Elder Bob)
    One: Sojourning God,
    ALL: your Spirit exists everywhere, on every path, inviting us to move with curiosity and compassion toward each other. May we see that our home paths are the unfamiliar paths for someone else. With renewed compassion, open our hearts for hospitality, so that in our welcoming we will grow together in peace, expand our chances for love, and deepen understanding right where we are. Nudge and guide us, we pray. Amen.
