Justice

Call To Worship 

L:  In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C: Amen.

L: Holy God, you not only comfort us but you also challenge us. Your Word awakes us to love justice.

C:  Lord, make us whole and keep us honest.

L:  Holy God, you bring justice to those who are marginalized. In our community help us to be advocates of what is right.

C:  Lord, make us whole and keep us honest.

L: May our worship this morning flow into our actions, our pocket books, our attitudes and our relationships.

C:  Lord, make us whole and keep us honest.

L: People of God, with what shall we come before the Holy One,
and bow ourselves before the Lord on high? (Micah 6:3)

C: God has shown us what is good.
What does the Holy One require of us,
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with our God?

L: With the prophet Amos let us proclaim our hope for the world:

C:  Justice shall roll on like a river, and
righteousness like a never-failing stream!

Amen.
