Calls to Worship for the Easter Season





Call to Worship for Easter 5

Hallelujah!  Praise the Lord from the heavens!
See, God is making all things new.
Praise the lord, sun and moon; sing praise, all you shining stars!
See, God is making all things new.
Praise the Lord from the earth, you sea monsters and all deeps;
Mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars;
Wild beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds
See, God is making all things new.
Young and old, men and women, powerful and pauper,
Let us praise the name of the Lord
See, God is making all things new.
Christ has risen.
Christ  has risen indeed.  Hallelujah!


Call to Worship for Easter 6

May God be merciful to us and bless us
Lord, make us instruments of God's peace.
May the light of God’s face shine upon us.
Lord, make us instruments of God's peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, let us sow faith.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is despair, let us sow hope
Where there is sadness, joy.
May the light of God’s face shine upon us
May God make us a blessing
May God be merciful to us and bless us
Lord, make us instruments of God’s peace.


Call to Worship for Easter 7

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
When kindred live together in unity!
Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
May we praise the Lord together
Men and women, young and old
Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
May we be agents of mercy and justice together
May we walk humbly with you and one another
Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
May we feed the hungry and clothe the naked
Visit the imprisoned and heal the sick.
Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
May we see your face in one another
Brothers and sisters, strangers and friends
Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Behold, how good and pleasant it is
When kindred live together in unity!
