Here’s a litany of commitment suitable for use on October 30, 2011 (Reformation Sunday). It was written by Lisa Frenz, and set for two leaders and congregation.
Litany for Reformation Sunday
Rejoice in the freedom of God,
a freedom which sweeps you into an ever-changing reformation of self and the world around you. A freedom that is an invitation to intimacy with God. A freedom that demands action. A freedom that makes you different: Christ-like, rather than world-like. A freedom that enables you to step out of the norm into the extraordinary. Grasp this freedom and
be a prophet
who seeks and speaks wisdom,
an advocate
who slays the dragons that threaten the weak,
a teacher
who inculcates the wonder of God,
a witness
who testifies with power and insight,
a public servant
who sows harmony,
a visionary
who sings songs of hope.
Rejoice in the freedom of God that makes you true to yourself; everyday becoming the person God made you to be.
