CALL TO WORSHIP
Led by Elder Reginald Holt

Hurricanes, handguns, heart disease, and hunger.
The ways of death in this world are many.
The words of death surround us.
The fear of death envelopes us.
But we come now to hear a different Word,
a true Word
a life-giving Word.
We are here on Isaiah’s mountain
where tears are wiped away,
where a banquet table has been set,
where death has been swallowed up forever.
We do not fully understand it.
We may not fully believe it.
And yet here it is:
the power of Christ’s life within us and among us. So let us be glad and rejoice in our salvation!
