Here’s
a responsive call to worship inspired by the suggested scripture texts for
Proper 17, Year C. It was written by
Eliza Buchakjian-Tweedy
of First Church
Congregational in Rochester, NH.
Call to Worship
(inspired by Luke
14:1, 7-14, Hebrews 13:1-6)
Creator
God, you call us to hospitality;
to
give as generously to others as you have given to us.
For
there are angels among us.
Loving
God, you call us to give you glory
in
the compassion we show to one another.
To
love without judgment, of ourselves or of others.
We
gather as one Body,
seeking
to walk in the way you have set for us.
We
gather as one Body,
to
worship the one who is Love.
