Call to worship 7 January 2018

Leader: In the beginning

before time, before people

ALL: GOD WAS

Leader: Here and now

among us, beside us

enlisting the people of the earth

for the purpose of heaven

ALL: GOD IS

Leader: In the future

when we have turned to dust

and all we know has found its fulfilment

ALL: GOD WILL BE

Leader: Not denying the world, but delighting in it

not condemning the world, but redeeming it,

through Jesus Christ,

by the power of the Holy Spirit,

ALL: GOD WAS

GOD IS

GOD WILL BE
