Welcome & Call to Worship Pastor Jim Voth Leader: We gather here as the body of Christ, but where is the One who leads us? Is this Jesus walking ahead and closing the gaps between us and others? Has the Christ moved across lines we draw and engaged with those who sit in the distance? People: Carry us with you, Jesus Christ, take us wherever you go so that we may be the friends of those you love. Leader: Close the distances between your life and ours, Holy Spirit. Be known among us in this hour that we may see your vision for our life, we pray. People: Come, Holy Spirit, come. Amen. * “Jesus, Thou Mighty Lord” (Children may come forward during stanza 3.)
