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.
PSALM
Psalm 84
CALL TO WORSHIP

Congregation: Apart from Him, we can do nothing, but in Him, we bear the fruit of His love.
Leader: As branches connected to the Vine, we are nourished by His grace and sustained by His presence.
Congregation: We come to Jesus, the source of life, to dwell in His love.
Leader: Let us lift our voices and fix our hearts on Christ, for in Him we find the fullness of joy.
Congregation: We worship the God whose love never fails, who has called us friend, and who holds us fast.

CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE
Leader: Jesus says, "Abide in me, and I in you. Apart from me, you can do nothing." (John 15:4-5)
We confess that we have sought life apart from Him. We have relied on our own strength and failed to love as He has loved us.
But hear this good news: "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you." (John 15:9)
Congregation: Thanks be to God! In Christ, we are forgiven and made new.
