Call to WorshipBased upon 1 Samuel 3:1-20

One: Hear the call: All you people: Trust in God at all times!

Many: Don’t trust in violence; don’t set your heart on wealth.

One: God has spoken: strength belongs to God, and faithful love comes from you, my LORD…

Many: Lord, with your eyes you have searched me and while smiling have spoken my

name. I will put my trust in you and follow.

Lord, You Have Cometo the Lakeshore

Hymnal #344

Used By Permission. CCLI License # 11148194

Lord, you have come to the lakeshorelooking neither for wealthy nor wise ones;

you only asked me to follow humbly.

O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me, and while smiling have spoken my name;

now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me; by your side I will seek other seas.

You know so well my possessions;my boat carries no gold and no weapons;

you will find there my nets and labor.

O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me, and while smiling have spoken my name;

now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me; by your side I will seek other seas.

You need my hands, full of caringthrough my labors to give others rest,

and constant love that keeps on loving.

O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me, and while smiling have spoken my name;

now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me; by your side I will seek other seas.

You , who have fished other oceans,ever longed for by souls who are waiting,

my loving friend, as thus you call me.

O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me, and while smiling have spoken my name;

now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me; by your side I will seek other seas.

Opening Prayer

O Lord, like Simon and Andrew we are busily at work, living our life. You call us to follow you. You promise to teach

us how to reach other people with your love. May our hearts immediately

follow your heart. Amen.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Ghost;as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.Amen. Amen.

Mark 1:14-16 NRSV

Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.” As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen.

Mark 1:17-20 NRSV

And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fish for people.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.

Jesus Calls Us

Hymnal #398

Used By Permission. CCLI License # 11148194

Jesus calls uso’er the tumult

of our life’s wild, restless sea;day by day

his sweet voice soundeth,saying “Christian, follow me!”

As of old theapostles heard it

by the Galilean lake,turned from home

and toil and kindred,leaving all for Jesus’ sake.

Jesus calls usfrom the worship

of the vain world’s golden store,from each idol

that would keep us,saying, “Christian, love me more!”

In our joys andin our sorrows,

days of toil and hours of ease,Still he calls,

in cares and pleasures,“Christian, love me more than

these!”

Jesus calls us!By thy mercies,

Savior, may we hear thy call,give our hearts

to thine obedience,serve and love thee best of all.

Benediction
