Call to Worship based on Acts 8:26-40
Leader: As Phillip was led by the Spirit to meet the Ethiopian on a dessert road, so are we gathered here by the Spirit to encounter God in worship.
People: We come open-hearted, ready to understand the scriptures and embrace the truth.
Leader: In the wilderness, the Ethiopian sought understanding of God’s Word, and Phillip was there to guide him.
People: Lead us, O Lord, in our understanding, and help us to embrace the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Leader: The waters of baptism awaited the Ethiopian, marking a new beginning in faith and joy.
People: May we also find renewal and joy in God’s presence as we worship today.
Leader: Let us celebrate the Spirit’s work among us, guiding, teaching, and transforming us as we follow the path of Christ.
All: With thankful hearts, we gather to worship and to praise, ready to be changed and to rejoice in our journey with God.
