A Call to Worship - Because of the Nails

To this gathering for worship
All are welcome

To the saint and sinner – welcome
To the confident and confused – welcome
To the bruised and the broken - welcome
To the believer and the doubter – welcome
To the sweet and, yes even, the sour – welcome

You are not here today by accident
God wanted you present in this place and at this time
so here you are

This is a gathering of God’s family
Birthed not because of age or economic status or skin color or politics
but formed by the hammering of nails on a wooden cross.

Come let us worship and bow down
Let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker
