West Sunday Gathering Liturgy - August 17,
2025
Carry Sunday with you into your week by pausing to reflect on the readings, prayers, and songs we shared in together as the body of Christ.
CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Living God, send your Holy Spirit upon us so that we may praise your name in unity and strength. Teach us not to rely on our own strength but give us joy and freedom in knowing that worship is a gift made possible by the work of your Spirit.
Congregation: As we remember the way your Spirit came to the early church, we ask that in the same way, you would help us sense your working in us. Amen.

Congregation: We hear the good news that in Christ, we are a new creation. By his Spirit we are strengthened to follow him. By his love, we love others and become the church God calls us to be.
