Call to Worship
We hear now the message of 1 John:
God is love; every one who loves is born of God and knows God.
God is light; in God is no darkness at all.
When we walk in the light, we have fellowship with one another.
As we join together in worship this morning,
we offer praise to God who called us out of darkness
into this wonderful light and this fellowship of love.
