Welcome

Prelude - Jean Herrera

Peace Candle - Cliff and Princess

We pray for peace,
In our hearts,
In our homes,
In our nations,
And in our worlds.

Scripture: Genesis 21:14-19; Luke 4:1-8

Call to Worship

One: We come for a time of wonder.
All: We come to see something bigger than ourselves.
One: We come to see the God who inspires compassion and hospitality.
All: We come to see the God who meets us in our hope and in our despair.
One: Like God met Hagar and Ishmael with compassion,
All: Let us meet one another with compassion. Amen.
