On Sunday,
October 7, 2012 the Church of the Nativity UCC is departing from the usual
lectionary readings and along with celebrating World Communion Sunday, we are
also concluding our celebration of the Season of Creation with Humanity Sunday. However, for those of you using the recommended
readings, here is a Call to Worship based on Psalm 8. Please feel free to use or adapt it as you
wish.
Call to Worship
from Psalm 8
L: God our Creator and
Ruler, all the earth praises your majestic name!
P: The light of your glory shines in the heavens
above!
L: The miracle of babies reveals
your love so powerfully
that your enemies turn speechless.
P: We marvel at the night sky, the vast spangled
heavens you made,
with
the moon and the stars you put in place.
L: Then we wonder, why do
you even care about human beings?
Why do
you bother with us, poor little balls of dust that we are?
P: Yet you have created us just slightly less than
angels,
and
given us glory and honor we scarcely deserve.
L: For you have given us
charge over this part of your Creation.
Under our care you have placed farm animals
and wild creatures,
birds soaring, fish diving, and whales
singing along the paths of the sea.
All: O God our Creator and Ruler, all the earth praises
your majestic name!
