Call to Worship - First Sunday in Lent 2011

One: For God's sake!
All: For my sake!

One: For the sake of others alive today,
All: And those yet to be born,

One: For all God's creation,
All: I pledge to learn

One: I pledge to learn about the impact my life choices have on the
lives of future generations.
All: I pledge to learn about the impact my life choices have on the
lives of future generations.

One: Let us pledge to learn what we can do to ensure a sustainable
and healthy future.
All: Let us avoid the temptation of answering our own needs in ways
that diminish the lives of others.

One: Lead us not into temptation.
