CALL TO WORSHIP                                                                                         

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.
