Prelude to Worship


Gathering in the Light

Invitation to Worship
one: Before the sun rises, before the wound heals, before there are answers, before there is closure –
ALL: God meets us in the night. 
one: Where joy is effervescent, where laughter is contagious, where flowers bloom from cracks in the sidewalk, and where people gather around the table-
ALL: God meets us in the light. 
one: At the edge of the water, at the beginning of the wilderness, at the start of something new, on the edge of faith –
ALL: God meets us at the threshold. 
one: And if God meets us in all those places, then surely God meets us in between--
ALL: Staying with us through the wilderness. one: We are not alone. God is all around.
ALL: Let us worship the God of the here and now.
