The invitation to worship calls upon the community of faith to center its worship upon God. This may be done simply by the quoting of appropriate scriptural sentences. Another form consists of a greeting that is followed by a congregational response. The call to worship, always addressed to the people, has the sole purpose of calling the congregation to its stated purpose: to worship God. The importance of clarifying for those assembled the purpose of its gathering cannot be underestimated. If a congregational response is made, it should be to affirm the purpose of the people’s gathering.
SCRIPTURAL CALLS TO WORSHIP
It is appropriate to open worship with this simple invitation:
Let us worship God.
Then may follow a variety of scriptural sentences that express the theme of the service. The sentences may either be read responsively, as occasionally indicated, or spoken entirely by the worship leader.
