Call to Worship
(based on John 21: 15-19)

Children of God, do you love the God
who hovered over the face of the deep and called the worlds into being?
Yes, you know that we do.
Then feed God's children.

Children of God, do you love the God
who was revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus the Christ?
Yes, you know that we do.
Then take care of God's children.

Children of God, do you love the God
who breathes new life into us even as we gather this day?
Yes, you know that we do.
Then feed God's children.
