WE WORSHIP TOGETHER

MUSICAL INVITATION TO WORSHIP

CALL TO WORSHIP

Reece Thompson

Siblings in Christ, through the Sacrament of Baptism we are initiated into

Christ's Holy Church;

we are incorporated into God's mighty acts of salvation and given new

birth through water and the Spirit.

All this is God's gift,

offered to us without price.

Through confirmation, and through the reaffirmation of our faith,

we renew the covenant declared at our baptism, acknowledge what God is

doing for us, and affirm our commitment to Christ's holy church.
