Here’s
a contemporary call to worship based on the suggested scripture readings for
Proper 20 B (Ordinary 25 B). It was
written by Bruce Prewer.
Call to
Worship
(inspired by James 3,
Mark 9:33-37)
We
come here today not because we are clever
but because God welcomes the
slow learners.
We
come here not because we are wise,
but because God loves us in spite of
our folly.
We
come knowing that the greatest persons will be found
among those who humbly serve
like Jesus did,
and that the brightest ideas
and the deepest truth will come
from those who see themselves
as little children in Christ’s school.
O
Lord, open up our mind and our hearts
and enable our lives to declare your
praise.
