West Sunday Gathering Liturgy - April 27,
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.
PSALM
Psalm 83
CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Jesus prayed, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you… This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.”
Congregation: We gather to know the one true God— to behold His glory and to respond in worship.
Leader: Christ has made the Father known. He has brought us near and called us His own.
Congregation: We come as those Jesus prayed for— welcomed, loved, and united in Him. Let us worship the God who has revealed His glory in Christ, and who gives eternal life to all who trust in Him.

CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE
Leader: Jesus prayed that we would be one— just as He and the Father are one. But we confess how easily we choose division, how quickly we forget His love, how often we go our own way.
Congregation: Father, forgive us. We have not lived as those who belong to You. We have not loved as You have loved us. We have not trusted the words of Your Son.
Leader: Jesus prayed that we would be sanctified in the truth— yet we confess our hearts chase lesser things. We turn to temporary comforts instead of resting in You.
Congregation: Have mercy on us, O God. Renew us in Your love. Make us one in Christ again.
Leader: Hear the good news: Jesus laid down His life for you. He is even now interceding for you, and in Him, you are forgiven, kept, and made new.
Congregation: Thanks be to God! We are His. We are loved. We are one in Christ.
Congregation: Father, forgive us. We have not lived as those who belong to You. We have not loved as You have loved us. We have not trusted the words of Your Son.

COMMITMENT
Leader: Jesus has made the Father known. He has prayed for us, He has kept us, and He now sends us into the world to proclaim His name.
Congregation: We belong to Him. We are loved with the same love the Father has for the Son.
Leader: Let us go as those kept by grace, strengthened by truth, and rooted in the unshakable love of Christ.
Congregation: We will stand firm for He is our foundation. He cannot fail!

BENEDICTION
Leader: Go now in the love the Father has for the Son— the same love He now pours out on you. Go as those kept in His name, rooted in His truth, and united in His Spirit. And as you go into the world, may your life reveal the glory of the Son, so that all may know the God who sent Him. Peace be with you.
Congregation: And also with you!
Congregation: And also with you!
