Call to Worship written by Roddy Hamilton (adapted)

The enemy:
love them.
The oppressor:
walk the mile with them.
The Master:
turn the other cheek to them.
The enemy:
imbalance them with love.
The oppressor:
shame the law that oppresses.
The Master:
turn the cheek as an equal.
Come let us worship love’s rebel, Jesus.

Unison Prayer
Almighty, all-merciful God, through Christ Jesus you have taught us to love one another, to love our neighbors as ourselves, and even to love our enemies. Let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, so that we may not be overcome with evil but overcome evil with good. Help us to see each person in light of the love and grace you have shown us in Christ. Establish among us a future where peace reigns, justice is done with mercy, and all are reconciled. We ask these things in the name and for the sake of Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
