Call to Worship:
Brothers and sisters, boys and girls-
come and worship!
Even if you're tired and worn out-
come and worship!
Lay down the heavy things you are carrying-
come and worship!
Listen to what Jesus wants to tell you-
come and worship!
See if you can discover how Jesus wants to share God's love with you-
come and worship!
For Jesus is humble and gentle,
and he will give us everything we need to follow him.

(inspired by Psalm
22:1, Habakkuk 1: 1-4)
Living
God,
we
come to you now,
in
wonder.
We
have heard of your works -
as
Creator, Upholder, In-dweller,
Lover
of all –
and
we have known you
in
our own times,
in
our own lives,
in
the lives of our neighbours.
Before
the mystery
of
your presence all around
and
within,
it
is right for us to be silent,
and
to offer thanks and praise.
Optional sung
response, like “Be still and know that I am God.”
But,
living God,
we
also come to you
in
anger and despair.
We
look out,
and
see children dying of hunger,
see
nations torn apart by war,
see
greed and corruption blighting
the
lives of millions.
And
we look within,
and
see our complicity in much of this,
see
our compromised lives,
see
our broken hearts,
our
broken promises;
and
before the mystery of evil rampant
and
injustice unpunished,
we
ask, “Where were you, God,
when
all this went so wrong?”;
hear
us as lift our voices to you
and
cry
“O
God, why have you abandoned us?”
In
silence, then,
before
the mystery
both
of your presence and of your absence,
we
wait upon you now.
Optional sung
response, like “Be still and know that I am God.”
