Abundance: Call to Worship

Based on Matthew 20:1-16

One: We gather in Abundance, away from the rush and the race, the push and the need.

Many: How good it is to gather!

One: We gather in abundance, away from the consumption that wastes and destroys, 

Because we are created to be agents of change, 

not consumed but empowered, impassioned and  transformed.

Many: How good it is to gather to celebrate the gift of passion to work beyond titles and live beyond things.

One: We gather because who you are is more than what you do. We gather because the productive class is not about numbers and brackets but about God’s life-giving dream where all have enough and each sacred heart goes to bed warm, beloved and well fed.

Many: We gather to celebrate the source; that seeded abundance in each soul and urges us to be more.
