Call to Worship

You are favored ones of God!

How can this be, for we have never seen the face of God?

The Lord is with you!

How can this be, when we feel so alone?

Be not afraid, for you have found favor with God.

Be not afraid, for you have found favor with God.

Be not afraid, for you have found favor with God.

We need not be afraid for we have found favor with God.
