Call to Worship
There will come a time when all around us will be
gone –
a time when dust will return to dust.
But there will never come a time when the breath of
God ceases to blow,
when the Spirit sleeps, when love lies lifeless.
Let us worship God,
who holds everything fast and breathes life into
dust.
