Introit


Call to Worship
(based on Genesis 1: 1-4, 4a)

Let there be light and dark within us;
let waters meet the shores amidst us.
Let the sky be open to our fullness;
let our feet be grounded upon the earth
in this moment.

We are called into a moment
of worship with all of creation.




Opening Prayer

Open to your creation we come, O God.
Like a wave that falls onto the shore,
like a bird that lands in its nest,
like the first star of the night which appears,
we come. Fill our hearts and open our souls
to your wonder. Amen




This Is God's Wondrous World
(VU 296)

This is God's wondrous world,
And to my listening ears,
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is God's wondrous world,
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees,
Of skies and seas,
God's hand the wonders wrought.



This is God's wondrous world,
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their maker's praise.
This is God's wondrous world.
God shines in all that's fair,
In the rustling grass or mountain pass,
God's voice speaks everywhere.


This is God's wondrous world.
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong
Seems oft so strong.
God is the ruler yet.
This is God's wondrous world:
Hhy should my heart be sad?
Let voices sing,
let the heavens ring:
God reigns, let earth be glad!



Called by Earth and Sky
(MV 135)

Refrain:
Called by earth and sky,
Promise of hope held high.
This is our sacred living trust,
Treasure of life sanctified,
Called by earth and sky.



Precious these waters, endless seas,
Deep ocean's dream,
Waters of healing, rivers of rain,
The wash of love again. R.

Precious this gift, the air we breathe;
Wind born and free
Breath of the Spirit,
blow through this place,
Our gathering and our grace. R.



Precious these mountains, ancient sands;
Vast fragile land.
Seeds of our wakening, rooted and strong,
Creation's faithful song. R.

Precious the fire that lights our way,
Bright dawning day.
Fire of passion, sorrows undone,
Our faith and justice one. R.




Lord, You Give The Great Commission
(VU 512 verses 1, 2, 4, 5 )

Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the word."
Lest the church neglect its mission,
And the gospel go unheard,
Help us witness to your purpose
With renewed integrity;
With the Spirit's gifts empower us
For the work of ministry.



Lord, you call us to your service:
"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise,
Life abundant meant for each,
Give us all new fervour,
Draw us closer in community;
With the Spirit's gifts empower us
For the work of ministry.


Lord, You Show Us Love's True Measure:
"Father, What They Do, Forgive."
Yet We Hoard As Private Treasure
All That You So Freely Give.
May Your Care And Mercy Lead Us
To A Just Society:
With The Spirit's Gifts Empower Us
For The Work Of Ministry.


Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
