Here’s
a call to worship (or, with a bit of reworking, closing words!) inspired by
Micah 6: 1-8. It was written by Mary Jo
Bowman.
Call to Worship
(based on Micah 6:
1-8)
Children
of God,
It's
time to take off your shoes,
Step
out of your comfort zone, and
Wade
with trust into the stream of God's mercy.
Stand
still for a moment, barefoot, on holy ground.
Let
the healing waters wash your feet.
Take
a deep breath as Love soaks into your soul.
Be
silent and listen for God's word to us today.
Read Micah 6:6-8
How
shall we worship our God?
We
have heard what the Lord requires of us.
Leave
empty talk and pride behind.
We
must walk the walk.
Prepare
to step out in faith, even into troubled waters.
Only
God knows where we might need to go.
Don't
be afraid.
Jesus
will guide our steps along the way,
Teaching
us to walk humbly,
To
love boldly,
To
serve God with body, soul, mind, and strength.
Let
us pray for the humility and courage
To
follow where the Spirit leads.
