CALL
TO WORSHIP
May
the Peace of Christ be with you.
And
also with you.
What
has brought us here today
We
come in search of the One they call Messiah
Jesus
is here, waiting to eat with us, wanting to be both host and guest in
our lives
We
gather with Jesus at the table, we open our hearts to his love and
wisdom.
As
we gather for worship we greet our neighbour with words and signs of
Christ’s peace...
Opening
PRAYER
God,
like Zacchaeus we want to meet Jesus
and
so we come together in worship.
God,
here we open ourselves to be transformed by meeting Jesus,
and
then live our lives as changed people with new priorities.
God
as we worship, move in our hearts,
sending
us back out as people of hope and faith, committed to live as
citizens of the Kingdom.
Amen.
COMMISSIONING:
Zacchaeus
climbed a tree so he could see...and so he was seen.
With
the result that he was changed.
We
have come to see Jesus, we have been seen by the God active in Jesus
As
we go out may we also be ready to be changed by seeing and by being
seen.
The
God who invited us to the table, the Christ who proclaims the
Kingdom, the Spirit who sustains us along the way,
is
with us as we live and serve and grow and love. Amen.
