*Passing the Peace
*Call to Worship *Please rise in body or spirit
One: If you come feeling small or unimportant, feeling out of place or insecure,
Many: this time is for us.
One: If you come unsure of your place in the world, doubtful that your name means “Blessed,”
Many: this time is for us.
One: If you come afraid to stand out, or to be swept away, afraid to be heard, or of what you might hear,
Many: this time is for us.
One: Come now, Christ of the trusting child. Come now, Christ of the confident spirit. Come now, Christ of the brave seekers.
Many: This time is for you.
