Call to Worship
Seek the Lord while God may be found. Call upon God who is near.
We will return to the Lord our God.
 
God’s thoughts are not our thoughts. God’s ways are not our ways.
We come, seeking new paths to follow.
 
As the heavens are higher than the earth so are God’s ways higher than ours.
We come as pilgrims on the journey, praising God along the way.
