Opening Devotions: Solidarity With Cuba

Abstract

Call To Worship
Leader: Rejoice, all the earth!
Rejoice, continents and numerous islands!
Rejoice, Cuba! God reigns!
People: We cannot help rejoicing in the celebration
because the powerful hand of God has been upon us
and has sustained and directed us through all our life.
Leader: The Lord rejoices in the work of God’s hand.
People: And we rejoice in all the creation:
for the palm trees that stand tall in continuous worship,
for the birds that each new day sing a hymn of praise,
for the sun that warms and gives light to the just and
unjust,
for women, men, youth and children who daily live with
us and in one way or another serve us and in this way
speak to us of your daily love,
for the church that gathers together to worship and goes
out in joyful service,
for Christ who gives himself to us in bread and wine as a
symbol of unity, solidarity and liberation.
We rejoice and are glad in him. Halleluya!
