6 SERMON NOTES Call to Worship The world is filled with the glory of God, and we say, The hills and valleys are filled with color, and we say, The vines and trees are filled with fruit, and we say, Our tables are overflowing with food, and we say, Our life is filled with love of family and friends, and we say, We fill this house of God with our voices, saying, May the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable to you, O God, as we enter into this service of thanksgiving and worship. ~ written by Carol Penner Log in at: stpaulsc.ccbchurch.com stpaulsc.org/pathways
