Prelude

Welcome

 Invocation Prayer

 Opening Song: He Has Made Me Glad  TFWS #2270

Licensed by CCLI #17827

 Call to Worship: Psalm 112:1-9

Praise the LORD! Happy are those who fear the LORD, who greatly delight in his commandments.

 Their descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever.

 They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright; they are gracious, merciful, and righteous. It is well with those who deal generously and lend, who conduct their affairs with justice.

 For the righteous will never be moved; they will be remembered forever. They are not afraid of evil tidings; their hearts are firm, secure in the LORD.

 Their hearts are steady; they will not be afraid; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes. They have distributed freely; they have given to the poor; their righteousness endures forever; their horn is exalted in honor.

To Pray,

Let Us Pray Together:

 Gracious God, You call us to a fast that breaks every yoke, to lives filled with justice, mercy, and humble service. Shape our hearts to seek not only our own well-being but also the freedom and restoration of others. Give us courage to raise our voices for truth and to act with compassion toward all who are in need.

 Holy Spirit, fill us with Your wisdom, that we may not depend on eloquence or worldly power, but on the mystery of Christ crucified and risen. Let Your presence dwell in us richly, guiding our thoughts and actions so that our faith stands firm, not in human understanding, but in Your power, God.

 Loving Father, may our lives shine like lights in the darkness, reflecting Your grace and steadfast love. Strengthen us as we strive to repair and rebuild, becoming true witnesses of Your kingdom here on earth. Lead us to serve with sincerity, and let Your righteousness flourish in us, now and always. In Christ Jesus. Amen.

 Prayers of the Community

Let Us Share the Words Jesus Gave Us:

 Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.  For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.  Amen.
