Call to Worship

(inspired by the events in Nehemiah 8)

 

Gathered together in the square

young and old

men and women

certain and seeking

slave and free.

Gathered together in the square

they opened the book

read and listened

talked and prayed.

They opened the book

gathered together in the square

and heard the Word of God.

 

Let us now gather

together

in the square

to open the book

and hear the Word of God.
