Call to Worship: Be The Change

Written by Rev. Dr. Christie Love

Call to Worship

Our world is full of hurt and hostility right now. People are suffering from the impacts of hunger, disease, poverty, war, and oppression. We come into this sacred space today with hearts burdened by the changes needed for so many across our globe.

God, hear our cry for change.

Throughout scripture and history, God has often moved through people to bring about change in the world. May we not ask for a change in the world without being willing to be catalysts for change ourselves.

God, guide us to be the change that we want to see in the world.

As we come into this sacred space today, may we wrestle with our willingness to embrace changes, create changes, and champion changes that are needed to improve the lives of others. May we be sensitive to holy stirrings in our hearts, revealing the places where change is needed in our lives.

God, guide us in the changes we need to make in ourselves.

Prayer

Divine God, May we be willing to be changed by your love and may we be willing to create change in the world as an act of our love for others and our love for you.
