Welcome & Announcements

* Call to Worship

 Leader: We come here today with our stories, pasts that have shaped us.

  People:   Our stories shape us, but our past mistakes do not define us.

  Leader:    In worship, we open ourselves to God’s work within us today.

  People:   We come ready to be molded into who we might become.

  Leader:    Let us worship the one who draws us, always, into new life.

God of everlasting love that never fails, we say thank you. Thank you for believing in us and giving us purpose, even when we find it hard to believe in ourselves. Thank you for your patience with us. Help us to support and uplift one another as we each grow in purpose and in community together. Amen.
