Call to Worship

This is a call to worship
But first
This is a call to white people:

Right now our Black and Brown siblings
with whom we seek to create community
are in pain
For just this moment let those of us who are white
turn in our hearts to them

and let us offer no words
because too many words have already been spoken
and let us make no promises
because too many promises have already been broken
and let us not observe a moment of silence
because the time for silence is over
No
Let us each hold our hand up to the screen
and even though we cannot touch each other
even though we cannot hold each other
even though we cannot hug each other
Let us feel the Love of God
knitting our hearts together

And in that Love shared across time and space
Love that is not limited to time and place
may our hearts be assured that
we are not alone
that God is with us
and that we stand with each other
In shared vision, yes
but even more importantly
in Love
in Love
in Love

This is a call to worship
which is to say this is a call to
work 
which is to say
this is a call 
to action.
