Call to Worship

One: God who gave birth to all of creation, you have taught us to rest.

Many: We seek to rest in you.

One: Gather us into your embrace, offering us a vision of a world that does not see us as commodities, but as your beloved children.

Many: We seek to rest in you.

One: Fill us with your breath so that we may bring the fullness of our being into your divine ease.

Many: We seek to rest in you.
