Call to Worship: (share in the purpose of the UWF)
Leader: We are a community of people.
People: Young, middle-aged, older; diverse in
backgrounds, appearances, and gifts – yet celebrating that diversity.
Leader: Our purpose is to know God –
People: To Know You – sense Your joy – share Your sorrow – Your dream for a world where justice knows no favorite, where all walk in dignity, sensitive to each other’s need.
Leader: Our purpose is to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ –
People: To reach out and know the wholeness made possible for us by Jesus, even as he restored the broken and the bruised.
Leader: Our purpose is to develop a creative, supportive fellowship –
People: To share the joys; bear the sorrows; bind the sounds of body and of spirit – to become a caring community.
Leader: Our purpose is to expand concepts of mission –
People: To confront our preconceived opinions, our
prejudices; to extend our areas of concern; to accept responsible action.
Leader: Through participation in the global ministries of the church.
People: Not “over there” alone, but the neighbor in our midst; not “Immediate aid” alone, but willingness to help change systems; not “for” but “with”, yet acknowledging the uniqueness of every child of God.
