*Call to Worship Rev. Dr. Naomi Mitchell
Leader: The world we made cries out, “Invest! Spend! Save yourself!”
Congregation: The way of God teaches us to love, care, and serve.
Leader: The world we made shouts, “Protect! Secure! Close off!”
Congregation: The way of God teaches us to share, lend, and provide.
Leader: The world we made threatens, “Be afraid! Be jealous! Want more!” Congregation: The way of God teaches us to be in awe, to have compassion, to be selfless. Leader: The world we made lies to us about what is most important, But God requires us to do justice, love mercy, and live in humbleness. Congregation: May we turn away from the distractions of the world we made; May we listen to God, who calls us to care for the earth, to love one another,
ALL: And serve Jesus Christ our Lord.

That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now am found
Was blind but now I see
