We invite you to gather with us as we reflect on the ways God has blessed America. Join with others as you feel and able and share this time with us. As this service is made up of many small videos, allow some time for the page to load as we come to worship together.
A Service of Worship

Call to Worship
Adapted from enfleshed’s Liturgies That Matter by Jo Schonewolf
Listen. Divine Love beckons us saying:
Arise, beloveds, and come away.
God draws our attention in body and spirit toward what is healing, what is good, what is true.
Alive to love, we cannot settle for ways of life that deaden and destroy.
Seeking the arms of God, we pursue life abundant.
We chase the sound of love and search high and low for justice.
The One who satisfies our deepest desires will not leave us wanting.
With passion, let us heed the call of God.
Opening Hymn

Beloved One, come and kindle in us a passion for life. Though struggles may surround, do not let us grow weary of dreaming. Keep us alive to our longings for abundance for all. Until the earth and all its creatures are restored to wholeness and harmony, may we persist in pursuing your love made real in this life. Amen
