*Call to Worship 
Leader: Followers of Christ, God calls us just as we are to live as truth-tellers and gospel-bringers in the world.
People: God, we know you call us, and still, we ask, “Who am I that you would call me?”
Leader: Like Moses standing before the burning bush convinced of his unworthiness to lead your people out of bondage, we ask,
People: “Who am I that you would call me?”
Leader: Like Peter who thought he got it right only to realize that who Jesus is doesn’t meet his expectations of who a Savior should be, we ask,
People: “Who am I that you would call me?”
Leader: As we raise this question to God today, we open our hearts to receive God’s answer:
People: You are my beloved children. You are my disciples. You are my people called to share the love of God for the transformation of the world. Amen.
