Welcome & Announcements
Call to Worship
Liturgist: Grace Evans
One: Great Spirit, Open our eyes that we may see the needs of others;
Many: Open our ears that we may hear their cries;
One: Open our hearts so that they need not be without succor;
Many: Let us not be afraid to defend the weak because of the anger of the strong, nor afraid to defend the poor because of the anger of the rich.
One: Show us where fear and prejudice blind us. Spirit of the Living God, open our eyes.
Many: OPEN OUR EYES!
