Peace.
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work.
It means to be in the midst of those things, and still be calm in your heart.

CALL TO WORSHIP:
Leader:
Come, all who are weary and burdened—
troubled by many things.
People:
We come to sit at the feet of Jesus.
We long to hear His voice.
Leader:
In a world full of rushing and distractions,
Jesus calls us to stillness and peace.
People:
We set aside our worries,
and choose the one thing that is necessary.
Leader:
Let us not be anxious or overwhelmed,
but present and attentive to God’s presence.
People:
We choose the better part—
to worship, to listen, to be with Jesus.
All Together:
This is our act of worship:
rest in Christ,
to receive His Word,
and to dwell in His peace. Amen.
