*CALL TO WORSHIP

Mackenzie Barbera

God, you have given each of us many gifts,

But sometimes we cannot recognize what gift we have to share, so we hide it under a bushel.

God, you remind us that all gifts are needed,

But sometimes we let ourselves be convinced that some gifts are more special than others.

God, you call us to work, to live, to love together as parts of one body, 

But sometimes we decide that being a part of the body is limited by our understanding.

God, for the times we have ignored Your gifts, for those times we have cut another off from the body,

We offer words of repentance, we ask for forgiveness and grace as we worship this day.
