Call to Worship (responsive) … led by Rev. Shonagh Taruza
Hope waits for us at Advent. 

Hope waits for us to trust.

Hope waits for our commitment

to a land that’s kind and just.

In this time of preparation

for the work of co-creation,

for the birthing of a world that heals the ones in pain.

Hope is born in us again.

A warm and sturdy place for hope to live and grow.
