Responsive Call to Worship
Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands!
        Serve the Lord with gladness!
        Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord is God!
It is he that made us, and we are his;
        we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
        and his courts with praise!
        Give thanks to him, bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
        his steadfast love endures forever,
        and his faithfulness to all generations.

#821 (Revised Standard Version)

From Children
"Blessed is the Man..."

The children are invited to share a card (with a pin of a fish with a cross in it) with each man in the sanctuary, along with a hug. We don't ask the little ones to decide who is a father and who is not. Just simple, loving interaction. (see Mother's Day)
