Call To Worship
One: We are told that our love toward others
should be true and sincere,
All: which is difficult toward those
who are mean, dishonest, and hateful.
One: We are asked to love all people
as if they were our sisters and brothers,
All: which suggests that all of us are one family,
there are to be no barriers between us.
One: We are implored to be patient, to rejoice,
and to never stop praying,
All: but we grow weary from our suffering,
our loneliness, and our grief.
