Welcome & Announcements
*Call to Worship – (from Free Indeed by Rev. Dr. Cari Jackson)
The Spirit of God bids us, “Come.” Let everyone who hears within their hearts, “Come.” Hear the whole earth rejoice and the coastlands sing of our God’s steadfast love. We come to rejoice in the Holy One, our God. We give thanks for God sets us free! Let everyone who is thirsty for the Spirit, “Come.” Let anyone who wishes “Come,” and receive the water of life as a gift. We come to rejoice in the Holy One, our God. We give thanks for God’s steadfast love that brings joy to our hearts in the night, lights our lives like the dawn, and sets us free. Amen.
*Hymn: “Be Still, My Soul,” #534
*Prayer: (posted on the MAD-e-Lena blog)
O God, we gather at Your waters, as a hot and bothered crowd gathers on the beach on a sweltering, summer day. O God, we drink at Your fountain, as a parched dog laps at the fresh, running water of a creek. O God, we await Your refreshment, as a tired worker watches for the change of shift. Quench our thirst, satisfy our longings. May we be refreshed and restored in You; and teach us where to find the bucket and how to carry it so that we might draw that water for those who most need it. Amen.
