Call To Worship
Ruth's loyalty to Naomi was rewarded by Naomi's wise guidance for doing what was practical for survival in their day. Like the women of the neighborhood who named Ruth's baby, let us bring to others the supportive nurture of nearby women. Let us build a sense of encouraging community within the neighborhood that is this church.

Gracious God, we bring to you hearts willing to help. Bring to us the insight that can strengthen in those we know the commitments holding their daily lives together. Amen.
