Call to Worship* (Responsively)
No matter how far we wander from you, O God,
Your steadfast love finds us.
No matter how unjust the world seems to us, O God,
Your steadfast righteousness sustains us.
No matter how vulnerable our lives seem to us, O God,
Your steadfast presence gives us hope.
No matter how unloved and uncared for we feel, O God,
You hear our cries and answer our prayers.
Thanks be to God!
