*Call to Worship (Read Responsively)
One: Come with me on a journey in faith.  Bring your hopes and
visions of a new possibility, for God’s work among us is just beginning.
Many: We are called into a future yet unnamed. 
We hear the call of Jesus and venture forward,
leaving behind our comfort zones and certainties.
One: But as we travel light, in the spirit of faith and expectation,
we are led by the One who brings to light God’s dreams for us
and for the world.
Many: May we be witnesses to God’s new tomorrow,
and go with confidence, knowing that we never travel alone.
