Welcome and Announcements
Call to Worship
Musical Introduction and Meditation
Poem by Shirley Eren Murray;
Music by Calvin Hampton #587
Through all the world a hungry Christ must scavenge far for daily bread.
Must beg the rich for crumb and crust – We are the rich, the daily fed.
Beyond the church, a leper Christ takes each untouchable by hand,
Gives hope to those who have no trust, whose stigma is our social brand.
Musical Interlude and Meditation
In torture cell, a prisoner Christ
for justice and for truth must cry
To free the innocent oppressed
while we at liberty pass by.
We do not know you, beggar Christ,
we do not recognize your sores,
We do not see, for we are blind;
forgive us, touch us, make us yours.
