Call to Worship:       Cheryl Dove

 In the name of the Spirit of God who hovered over the primal waters;

In the name of the Word of God who parted the waters for Earth to appear;

In the name of the Wisdom of God, who filled the deep with amazing designs, Amen.

Holy! Holy! Holy!

Earth is filled with your presence.
