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 who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” 
“Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” 
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​Opening Hymn - Go, Tell It On The Mountain - #251

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Unison Prayer 

Loving God, you call us not only to believe the gospel, but to live it. You test our hearts not with trials meant to break us, but through the daily invitation to serve, to love, and to share our lives with one another. Receive these gifts as signs of our gratitude and our willingness to embody the good news of Christ. Use what we offer to nurture communities of compassion, where faith is lived gently, courageously, and with humility. May our witness -- like Paul's -- be rooted not in pride or gain, but in love that gives itself freely for others. Amen.

Humble Savior, you meet us at the start of every day and invite us to take on the mind of Christ. As we bring these gifts, set aside in us the need to win, to hoard, to be first.

Keep forming us, not by force but by grace, until our living begins to look like Jesus. We place our offerings -- and ourselves -- in your hands. Amen.
