1. Call to Worship
| (a) |
Nothing Shall Separate Us Today. |
| One: |
Let nothing stand between you and God today! |
| Many: |
We have come to lift you up O God,
Let nothing separate us from you! |
| One: |
Not danger in the streets
or concern over what we eat |
| Many: |
We have come to lift you up O God,
Let nothing separate us from you! |
| One: |
Not a fight with a friend
or work that will never end |
| Many: |
We have come to lift you up O God,
Let nothing separate us from you! |
| One: |
Lord we come before you today convinced |
| Many: |
That neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things
present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor
anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love
of God in Christ Jesus our Lord! |

Black Martyrs |
| Leader: |
“When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those
who had been slaughtered for the word of God, and for the testimony they
had given.” (Rev. 6:9) |
| All: |
With grateful hearts and uplifted voices, we remember those who held
to the faith, for they gave their lives in the struggle to be free. |
| Leader: |
Thank you, God, for black martyrs. Because of them we are blessed. |
| All: |
Blessed are those mighty men and women of strength, who set a path
for others to follow. |
| Leader: |
Lord, help us, that when our times come, we too may face persecution and
even death with pride and dignity. |
| All: |
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt. 5:10) |
| Leader: |
Nubian queens and great kings foresaw the plight of slavery to be one of
oppression and cruelty. They resisted, preferring death. |
| All: |
Blessed are those who threw off the shackles of powerlessness and
looked to a better day. |
| Leader: |
Crispus Attucks, Nat Turner, John Brown, the Scottsboro boys, Robert
Brown Elliott, Brother Martin, Malcolm and Medgar, as well as Steve
Biko responded to cruel injustice with their lives. |
| All: |
In the spirit of Denmark Veasey, we long to see the promise
of freedom blossom in the land of the living. |
| Leader: |
The flowers of freedom are watered with the blood, sweat, and tears of our
ancestors who never gave up the fight! |
| All: |
O Lord, have mercy on our world. It has embarked on a journey that
is in great need of your intervention. |
| Leader: |
In the spirit of Cynthia Wesley, Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson, and
Denise McNair, four girls murdered in the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church
in Birmingham, |
| All: |
We will not shrink in the face of duty. We will not meander in the maze
of mediocrity. |
| Leader: |
Black martyrdom wears many faces, but the response to the call is the same.
God, we know that we will be victorious. We claim victory in your name. |
| All: |
As martyrdom knocks on our hearts even now, may we be willing to
sacrifice everything to insure freedom and deliverance. We give thanks to
God, who leads and guides us all. |
