* CALL TO WORSHIP based on Hebrews 7:23-28 We gather together to worship our great high priest, for he is holy, blameless, undefiled. He is exalted above the heavens and unlike any other high priest. He has no need to offer sacrifices, for Jesus is without sin and yet, he has offered the ultimate sacrifice once and for all. We worship and praise you, Christ Jesus, our great high priest, perfect forever. Amen.

or socioeconomic status. We are blessed by our diversity and are unified in Christ.
