Call to Worship - Minister Sellman
Leader: We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; Persecuted, but not forsaken; Cast down, but not destroyed.
People: African American history tells the story of a people whose faith in God, hope in the future, and love for one another sustained them through every generation.
Leader: You gave them strength to fight, give us power to break the chains of mass incarceration, poverty, violence, and the sins that so easily beset.
People: As we gather for worship, we remember the sacrifices and faith of these courageous men and women.
All Together: Guide our feet, focus our minds, and sustain our hearts as we strive to serve this present age in unity and brotherhood. Amen
