Call to Worship: Genesis 32

Eugene Delacroix, Jacob Wrestling with the Angel, 1857-1861

Call to Worship

(based on Genesis 32:22-31)

We gather here in anticipation,

seeking an encounter with our Holy God,

who comes among us when we least expect it,

who invites us to wrestle with our questions and doubts,

who richly blesses us,

and calls us each by name.

Let’s worship God together!
