Call to worship
Leader: Come and worship. O God, you are our God and we thirst
for you.
All: We will praise you and bless you as long as we live.

your love. Amen.

Pondering thoughts
I wonder what it is like to be thirsty in a land without water.
I wonder how praising God blesses us as well as God.
I wonder how God will satisfy our deep needs today.
