The Spirit is Calling
To you, O people, Wisdom calls...
Wisdom was at the beginning, with God.
To you, O people, Wisdom calls...
Wisdom called throughout the ages, calling to all creation.
To you, O people, Wisdom calls...
Wisdom beckons even now.
To you, O people, Wisdom calls...

Holy God of wind and fire;
Dance through this room today.
Holy God of earthquakes and illness;
Share our tears of sadness and pain.
Holy God of creation and new beginnings;
Show us again your vision of healing and wholeness. {Copyright Katherine Hawker, 1995.}
The Word of God is planted in our hearts.
May our hearts be receptive to the Word.
The Love of God rains down on us.
May our souls soak in the wonder of God’s love.
The Breathe of Godde blows softly within us.
May our minds be stirred by the power of God’s spirit.

Come to hear the Word.
Come to do the Word.
Come to experience Comfort.
Come to experience Challenge.
Come to find Cost.
Come to find Joy.
Come to find Humanity.
Come to find Community.
Come to find Church.
Come to find God.

In the beginning
When God created the heavens and the earth
When the breath of God moved over the face of the waters
There was evening
There was morning
There was light
In the beginning God created
Let us worship God. Paraphrase of Genesis 1:1. Copyright Katherine Hawker, 1997.
For God so loved the world;
The sparrows, the mountain lions,
the fish and the people.
For God so loved the world;
In success and failure,
in sickness and health,
in mediocrity and extraordinary.
For God so loved the world;
Enough to become one of us,
enough to suffer along with us,
enough to offer new life for us.
For God so loved the world;
Let us worship God! {Copyright Katherine Hawker, 1997.}
From God comes the wonder of creation.
We will worship God the Creator.
From God comes healing for the brokenness we see.
We will worship God our Redeemer.
From God comes the strength to face the new day.
We worship God our Sustainer. Paraphrase of Genesis 1:1. Copyright Katherine Hawker, 1997.
