Here’s a welcome and call to worship based on Isaiah 25:1, 4 – one of the suggested scripture passages for Proper 23A (October 9, 2011). It was written by Rev. Richard Fairchild.
Call to Worship
(based on Isaiah 25: 1, 4)
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
And also with you.
O Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you and praise your name.
In perfect faithfulness you have done marvellous things,
things planned long ago.
You have been a refuge for the poor,
a refuge for the needy in their distress.
You are a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat.
O Lord, you are my God.
I will exalt you and praise your name forever.
