*Call to Worship                                                    Rev. Dr. Naomi Mitchell

Leader: We do not live on bread alone, but by the life-giving work of God’s love.
Congregation: God’s give us the bread of life today and always.
Leader:  Too long we have lived with hunger, seeking to fill our appetite with food that leaves us wanting.
Congregation: Too long we have starved ourselves of spiritual food that truly satisfies.
Leader: “I am the bread of life,” Jesus tells us. “Whoever comes to me shall never be hungry.”
Congregation: “Whoever believes in me shall never go thirsty”
ALL: Come Holy Spirit feed us with your grace and love.
