*Call to Worship (Read Responsively)
One: The Spirit of God gave the universe birth.
Many: The Spirit of God delivered the world.
One: Our God is the first; our God is the last.
Many: No other god declares the word of creation.
One: Yet this same God invites us, saying, “Do not be afraid!”
Many: Worship the One who banishes fear,
who comforts the trembling and quickens the faint!
Worship the One whose creation is renewed and
whose creatures are never forsaken!
who comforts the trembling and quickens the faint!
