Call to Worship:

Leader:  The vine emerges from the earth,

nourished

and nourishing.

    People:   Rises without visible connection;

     roots hidden,

     promise unknown.

Leader:  Strong to withstand storms,

fragile when plucked too soon.

    People:   So it is that we grow…

     nourished by invisible connections to the living God,

     called to nourish that which is seen and that which is yet buried within.
