Call to Worship from Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise to the Holy One!
We come to sing and pray, to laugh and speak.
Serve God with gladness!
We are glad to be here, worshipping together.
Know that the almighty Creator has made us!
We honor each other in this space as beloved people of God.
Enter the Divine gates with thanksgiving!
We give thanks for blessings large and small; for this place and these people.
For God is good!
God is good!
God’s steadfast love endures forever
And God’s faithfulness to all generations.

Prayer from Matthew 25:31-46

God,
To those who are hungry, grant food.
To those who are thirsty, grant drink.
Let the stranger find welcome.
Let the vulnerable find safety.
Provide care for the sick.
Give company to the imprisoned.
And allow each of us the privilege
To work with you in this holy work of love and life.
Amen
