Call to Worship (Please join in the words written in brackets).
Our souls proclaim your greatness, O God,
(and our spirits rejoice in you.)
We will sing of your steadfast love, O Lord,
(and our souls magnify you.)
Your mercy goes from generation to generation.
(Your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.)
You have filled the hungry with good things
and have sent the greedy away empty.
(You are our God and the Rock of our salvation.)
Our souls proclaim your greatness, O God

God of love,
remind us that love is transformative,
but it must be shared.
You ask us to love one another as You have loved us.
You loved us so much that You sent your Son to us.
We are following Him to learn the way of love.
As Your love transformed the world long ago,
we await the fulfilment of the promise that Your love
will redeem the whole creation. Amen.
