Call to Worship and Commissioning for a series on the Fruits of the Spirit

CALL TO WORSHIP

May the Peace of Christ be with you

And also with you

We gather as branches growing from the vine.

We gather as people who seek to bear spiritual fruit.

God who gives the growth has called us here for renewal, let us worship together.

As followers of the Risen Christ we open our worship by greeting our neighbours with words and signs of Christ`s peace.

COMMISSIONING:

Jesus Christ, the True Vine, reaches out around the world.

As branches grafted to, and growing from, the vine we grow vibrant and bear fruit.

P:

Go with God: the Creator and Parent, the Risen Christ, the Spirit filling our lungs.

Blessed be God who gives us Growth. Hallelujah! Amen.
