Sharing Christ's Peace

Prelude to Worship

Invitation to Worship
If you come into this place
with the hope of growing deeper,
with the hope of connecting,
with the hope of glimpsing God,
and if all of those things take place,
and your spirit is moved,
and you swear God is near,
and you feel more than lucky for the gift of faith,
and then the service comes to an end,
and it’s time for you to leave,
and you ask yourself,
“Where do we go from here?”
Then I would say to you,
“Go out into the world
to love and to share and to learn,
but come back soon,
because this is the beginning.
This is only the beginning.
So come on in.
Fill your cup here.
Be present here.
God is here.”
Let us worship Holy God.
