Call to Worship
We live in the shelter of the Most High,
We abide in the shadow of Almighty God.
Let us worship God who is our refuge and our strength,
For God is the One in whom we trust.
The Lord will deliver us from the perils that threaten us.
Under God’s wings, we will find refuge and not be afraid.
