A Call to Worship on Mother’s Day

We are the people of God.
Together we are family.

I am married,
and single
and in a covenant relationship.

We are the people of God.
Together we are family.

I was married,
and never married,
and married twice,
and widowed.

We are the people of God.
Together we are family.

I am older
and younger,
and in-between,
facing my first serious relationship,
knowing the joy of love,
enduring betrayal,
tasting the grief of a dying partner.

We are the people of God.
Together we are family.

I am an only child,
and have ten siblings
and have raised two children
and no children.

We are the people of God.
Together we are family.

I am part of a family,
the human family
the family of faith
my family of origin
the family of my choosing.

We are the people of God.
Together we are family.

Let us worship God together.
