Calls To Worship
Listening
In Your Wisdom
In your wisdom, O God, you call us here to worship you.
We gather, alive to the Word of God.
You call us to be fully alive with your life abundant,
ready to listen and respond with heart, soul, strength, and mind.
We listen, alive to the Word of God.
You call us to be always watchful for your Word of wisdom, sometimes startling and unexpected, sometimes still and quiet, but always dwelling among us.
We watch and wait for the Word of God.

Listen and Act
ONE:
Joseph is silent
He listens and acts
ALL:
Lord, help us listen
Still the noise around us and in us
Still the urgency and anxiety
Still the destruction and falsehood
Lord, help us listen
Break through with your still, small voice
with your calm and clarity
with your leading and light
You reveal the needed next steps
You provide all we need to make the journey
Lord, help us listen and help us act
Amen

As We are Called
As we are called into worship today, it is sobering to remember
that when God appeared on earth in the person of Jesus, most of the world did not recognize him
and therefore did not worship him.
Today we ask for the faith that will open our eyes
to see Jesus for who he is,
that we might worship him in truth.
People of God, behold and see your God!
We open our eyes to see his glory.
We open our ears to hear his wisdom.
We open our hands to offer him gifts.
We open our mouths to sing his praise.
We open our hearts to offer him our love.
He is Lord!
