CALL TO WORSHIP [from GREATER ATTENTION: LERW, YEAR D] 
Let the wise hear and gain in learning.

Let the discerning acquire skill.

         For fools despise wisdom and instruction,

         But the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.

Let those who fear the Lord await the Holy Spirit,

that they may come to understand proverbs and figures and words of insight.

         We shall delight in the words of our Savior,

         the Messiah, the Son of David.

For David himself, by the Holy Spirit,

calls his own son, ‘Lord,’ saying,

         “The Lord said to my Lord,

         ‘Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.’”

Let those who fear the Lord seek the Holy Spirit,

that they may gain instruction in wisdom and righteousness, justice and equity.
         Then we shall teach discernment to the simple,

         the knowledge of the Lord and prudence to the young.
