Scripture: Luke 15:1-10
Sermon: “Who Are the Lost?”
Call to Worship (from Bread for the Journey by Ruth C. Duck; reprinted by permission of United Church Press.):
L As a shepherd seeks a lost sheep,
P So God seeks and saves the lost.
L Like a woman who searches for a lost coin until it is found,
P So God rejoices over one soul restored to wholeness.
L As a father receives a returning wayward son,
P So God welcomes us, and lets the past be the past.
L Therefore let us praise God in thanksgiving that we are received.
P Let us receive and welcome and rejoice over one another in the name of Jesus Christ.
