CALL TO WORSHIP

ONE: The Season of Stewardship inspires us in action, intentions, and heart.

ALL: Drags us out of the past to see the potential and possibilities present right now and in our future.  

One: Distracts us from our pre-scripted plans with Divine dreams bound in fresh questions. 

ALL: Declutters our imaginations so that over and over again we can begin anew.

One: Let us worship the One from whom Divine Imagination comes to birth new paradigms of life. Amen.
