CALL TO WORSHIP:
L: We each have many gifts to offer in service to God.
P: Some will be teachers; others preachers; some will be capable leaders, others will be skillful workers; some will be those who have visions of all possibilities; others will find ways to make those visions a reality; some will develop ministries of peace and justice; others will seek to change unjust systems.
L: Each person here has been blessed by God.
P: Lord, help us to use those blessings to help others. AMEN.
