Call to Worship

  Leader: Once we were dead to the life God desires for us.

  People:   But God, rich in mercy, made us alive in Christ.

  Leader:    We are saved by grace, not by our own efforts.

  People:   This is God’s gift, given freely and lovingly.

  Leader:    We are God’s handiwork, created for good works.

  People:   Called to love our neighbors and seek what unites us.

  Leader:    Come, let us worship the God who brings life, hope, and unity.

  People:   Let us praise the Lord together.

#577   God of Grace and God of Glory

* Congregational Prayer

Gracious God,
 we gather today because of your great love for us.
 When we were lost, you did not abandon us. 
When we were divided, you reached across the distance 
and made us alive in Christ by grace. Strengthen our faith, O Lord, 
so that we may trust not in ourselves
 but in your saving work.
 Remind us that we all stand on common ground, 
for each of us is shaped by your mercy 
and formed by your love. Teach us to love our neighbors,
 especially those who differ from us in thought, culture, or experience.
 Help us listen with humility, 
seek understanding with patience,
 and build bridges where walls once stood. Make us mindful that we are your handiwork,
 created for good works that reflect your compassion and peace. 
Unite us in Christ,
 hat our life together may bear witness 
to your grace at work in the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ,
 who brings us together and makes us whole.
 Amen.
