CALL TO WORSHIP
INTROIT: His Cross Leads Us On by Mary McDonald
Just beyond these walls past where eyes can see, the church of God is rising, setting captives free. Offering bread and water to the hungry and the lost. The church of God is ringing by clinging to the cross. There’s a cross before us; there’s a race that we must run! Christ alone, He is our portion and the victory won. His cross leads us on! Still, beyond these walls, past where eyes can see, God’s holy church is rising by falling on its knees; offering life eternal to the hungry and the lost. The church of God is ringing by holding to the cross. He leads us on! His cross leads us on! [Rose Aspinall

ANTHEM: Catch the Vision! Share the Glory! by Richard Jeffrey; Dr. Brian Logan, flute
Blessed children, saints elect of God. Globe encircling cloud of witnesses: we have heard the Christmas angels, we have seen the Easter sunrise, cried with joy when Christ began his reign. Catch the vision! Share the glory! Show the captives, tell them: Christ is here! Universal body of the Lord; chosen, called, made just glorified: ours the faith and ours the triumph; ours the peace the world is seeking: who on earth as privileged as we? Heirs together of the grace of life, all baptized into the death of Christ: born again in love maturing from the altar free and cheerful, caring, winsome family of God. From this time and place have we been born, gifted by the Spirit, trained and sent: with the eyes of Jesus seeing, with the hands of Jesus helping with the words of Jesus bringing life. Catch the vision! Share the glory! Show the captives, tell them: Christ is here! [Jaroslav J. Vajda]
