Call to
Worship
AN EVERLASTING LOVE
One: From the darkness of a tomb, from the coldness of a
cemetery, the light of
God shines forth.
All: Your faithfulness continues, O God.
One: To Mary, to Peter, to all of Jesus’ followers who
mourned
his death,
All: Your faithfulness continues, O God.
One: In the broken lives, the lost dreams, the hungry mouths,
and the searching souls
surrounding us in the here
and now,
All: Your faithfulness continues, O God.
One: As resurrection light breaks into the gloom and despair
that fills our world,
let us, as an Easter people, celebrate
God who speaks to us
today in words that have echoed
through time:
All: "I have loved you with an everlasting love;
therefore, I
have continued my
faithfulness to you."
