Call to Worship
Where can I escape from your spirit, O Lord?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there
If I take the wings of the dawn and settle at the farthest limits of the sea
even there your right hand shall hold me

I try to count them––they outnumber the grains of sand

Prayer
Disturb us when we are too well-pleased with ourselves; when we arrive safely because we sailed too close to the shore.

Push back the horizons of our hopes and push us in the future in strength, courage and love.
