Call to worship 8 January 2023

Christmas is over for another year

the decorations packed away

trees taken down

some, even dumped at the roadside

the chocolates and cheese have been eaten

the carols have been sung

now

now

we come

to do the work of Christmas

worship the King of king and Lord of lords

in our gathering together

and in our feeding the poor,

clothing the naked

sheltering the stranger

in Christ’s name

Amen
