Sheltand Islands
When we are alone,
you make us known
to our sisters and brothers.
When we are lonely,
you whisper, 'come closer,'
inviting us into your heart.
Great is your love for us,
Welcoming God.
When we wander lost and afraid,
you take us by the hand,
so we may settle in your kingdom.
When we hunger
for the crumbs of hope
which the world offers to us,
you feed us with
the fullness of your joy.
Great is your grace for us,
Accepting Christ.
When those around us
make clear they want nothing
to do with us, ever,
you persist in being our friend.
When we stand on
despair's welfare line,
you invite us to come
to a sumptuous feast.
Great is your hope for us,
Embracing Spirit.
God in Community, Holy in One,
you weep openly as you welcome us
into your heart and your hopes,
even as we pray as Jesus teaches us,
Our Father . . .
This was the Call to Worship at church last Sunday. It can be found at http://lectionaryliturgies.blogspot.com/ and is offered by Thom M. Shuman.
