​Call to Worship - Psalm 99:1–3 

The LORD reigns! Let the peoples tremble. 
He is enthroned between the cherubim. Let the earth quake. 

The LORD is great in Zion; he is exalted above all the peoples. 
Let them praise your great and awe-inspiring name. He is holy. 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Opening Hymn – Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty - #64

​​​​​​​​Unison Prayer 

Restoring God, Maker of new heavens and a new earth, where sorrow is lifted, and joy takes root. As we bring our gifts this day, may they be seeds of your promised future - an offering of hope, justice, and mercy in a weary world. Use what we give and who we are to proclaim a kingdom where none are forgotten, where the wolf and lamb lie down in peace, and where the sound of weeping is no more. Let this act of giving remind us that your dream is still unfolding - and that we are called to help build it. In Christ's name, who is our joy. Amen.

Call to Worship - Romans 11:33–36 

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

Faithful God, the One who stands with us in ruins and renewals alike, may your compassionate care continue to rain down on us. As we bring our offerings, we remember not only what was, but we dare to believe in what will be. You are our strength when we falter, our vision when the future feels uncertain. Use these gifts to rebuild your beloved community - not only in stone and structure, but in lives made whole, relationships restored, and justice pursued. May your peace dwell richly in what we offer and how we live, that the glory of this house - the people called by your name - might truly shine. In Christ's name we pray. Amen.

Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! Serve the LORD with gladness!

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you;

​​​​​Postlude - From The Inside Out by Hillsong

October 12, 2025

​​Call to Worship - John 15:4–5, 9–10 

Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me. . . . As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commands you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.

Even when our faith feels small, you multiply our offering into acts of healing, welcome, and justice. So, increase not only our faith, Lord, but also our willingness to serve - with humility, joy, and confidence that you are at work through every generous act. In the name of the one who came to serve, we pray. Amen.
