Welcome

Welcoming the Light of Christ: Majesty, Worship His Majesty UMH 176

Come Let Us Worship: Psalm 145:1-5, 17- 21.

I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever.

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall extol your works to another and shall declare your mighty acts.

They will recount the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works I will meditate. The Lord is just in all his ways and kind in all his doings.

The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of all who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who love him, my mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and all flesh will bless his holy name forever and ever.

*Hymn of Praise: Rejoice in God’s Saints UMH 708 (Please stand if you are comfortable)

…To Pray,

A Prayer to Begin Our Time Together:

Gracious and faithful God, we gather in Your presence, anchored in the truth of Your Word and the hope of resurrection. Though confusion and deception may swirl around us, we cling to the gospel You entrusted to us, the good news that we are chosen, sanctified by Your Spirit, and called to eternal glory through Christ.

Strengthen our hearts this morning, Lord. Let us not be shaken or led astray but rooted in Your love and firm in every good work and word. As Jesus remind us, You are the God of the living, and in You, we live, move, and have our being.

May our worship today reflect the joy of those who know they belong to You. Encourage us, comfort us, and establish us in grace. In the name of the risen Christ, we pray. 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.

…To Hear the Word,

Anthem: Into the World of Light

Let Us Hear the Word of Zephaniah: Zephaniah 3: 14-17

14Sing, Daughter Zion;

shout aloud, Israel!

Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,

Daughter Jerusalem!

15The Lord has taken away your punishment,

he has turned back your enemy.

The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you;

never again will you fear any harm.

16On that day

they will say to Jerusalem,

“Do not fear, Zion;

do not let your hands hang limp.

17The Lord your God is with you,

the Mighty Warrior who saves.

He will take great delight in you;

in his love he will no longer rebuke you,

but will rejoice over you with singing.”

This is the Word of God, for the people of God.

Thanks be to God.

The Lord’s Supper - Gluten free bread

23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death and resurrection until he comes. (1 Corinthians 11.23-26)

Merciful Lord, we do not come to Your table trusting in our own righteousness, but in Your abundant mercy and grace. We are not worthy even to gather the crumbs beneath Your table, yet You are the God whose nature is always to show mercy. Grant us, therefore, to partake of this holy meal, that we may dwell in You, and You in us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

"Lord Jesus, we come before Your table with humble hearts, remembering Your sacrifice on the cross. Bless this bread and cup as symbols of Your body and blood, given for our salvation. May we partake in faith, gratitude, and unity, proclaiming Your death until You come again".
