 “Listen, my people, to my teaching; tilt your ears toward the words of my mouth.” -Psalm 78:1 (CEB)

Prelude Music

Welcome & Announcements

*Call to Worship – (from the Rev-o-lution website)

We are called to love the Lord our God. We are called to love with all our heart and soul. We are called to love the Lord our God. We are called to love with all our mind and strength. We are called to love the Lord our God. And we are called to love our neighbor as ourselves. Come, let us love our God, and share God’s love in this time of worship! 

*Hymn: “Spirit of the Living Christ,” #393 (sung twice)

 *Litany (Katherine Hawker, 2002, and posted on Liturgies Outside.)

Once upon a time, a wise man offered a challenge; "What is the greatest commandment?" The calendars on our desks share upcoming events, bills to pay, phone calls to return, appointments to keep. Love the Lord your God. The cameras of our memories share what command us: children to bathe, partners to help, parents calling, and grandchildren hopeful. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. Still the Spirit lures us to new priorities: Open spaces   to experience wonder, strangers becoming friends, devotion to that which transcends. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.

*Gloria Patri, #70
