CALL TO WORSHIP Pastor Tony Etzel
PASTOR: Come to Christ, that living stone, rejected by the world, but in God's sight chosen and precious.
PEOPLE: We have responded to Christ's call and seek to be built into a spiritual house, a living reminder of God's presence on earth.
PASTOR: Once we were no people, but now we are God's people, called out of darkness into God's marvelous light. Therefore, we sing with the church in all ages:
PEOPLE: Blessed be your name, O God, our Redeemer. By your mercy, we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
