Call to Worship
(inspired by Psalm 81)
Sing aloud to God our strength and shout with joy:
God, our Host, welcomes us.
God reminds us,
“I brought you out of the land of Egypt and fed you along the way.”
When we opened our mouths, God filled us with good things.
God calls us to walk the path of faithfulness, trusting the promise:
a feast for all —
freshly-baked bread, hot from the oven,
and sweet honey to satisfy our hunger.
Let us worship God!
