• Responsive Call To Worship

  RESPONSIVE CALL TO WORSHIP

  
  LEADER: Come, people of God, and worship the One who calls us together.

  PEOPLE: We come to worship, to grow, and to encourage one another.

  LEADER: God has given us a community where we can learn together, pray together, and share life together.

  PEOPLE: We belong to Christ, and through Christ, we belong to one another.

  LEADER: So come with open hearts, ready to hear from God and ready to love one another.

  PEOPLE: Let us worship God together!

• Unison Prayer of Confession

  Gracious God, You have called us to love You and to love one another, but we confess that we don't always live that way. We become focused on ourselves and overlook the needs around us. We hold back when You call us to give, and we allow busyness and distraction to pull us away from You and from one another. Forgive us, Lord. Help us to follow Jesus more faithfully, to care for one another generously, and to be the community You have called us to be. Hear us now as we silently confess our sins to You.

• Affirmation of Faith

  APOSTLES' CREED

  I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

• Scripture Reading

  Ephesians 2:13-22

  13 In Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. 19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
