Call to Worship
One: For some of us, it was tempting to “sleep in” this morning.
All: But God has called us to this place, to hear God’s word, to open our hearts in prayer and praise, and to seek direction for our lives.
One: There are many temptations placed in front of us. We are called to be strong and place our trust in God.
All: God is always faithful to us, comforting, guiding, lifting us.
