Prelude Sharon Cooper
*Call to Worship Hale Thornburgh
Holy Spirit, Divine Breath, Wild Winds of Change
She comes to rattle all that cages,
to provoke with prophecies,
to disturb the quiet of evil’s routines.
In her presence, all the earth trembles with anticipation of freedom.
A weary world is roused with hope!
She awakens the senses to the nearness of salvation.
She is the power of God poured out among us.
Come, Spirit, come!
Author, enfleshed
*Vision of Faith
We are all God’s People! We are called by Christ to ministries of love, justice and reconciliation with our church, community and world!

Holy Imagination, you keep us from caving to forces that dull and discourage our hope. You enable dreams and visions and prophecies of what could become. Bless our offerings to building and creating and perceiving your Kindom among us. In small and extraordinary ways, may we be courageous in our efforts. Amen.
