Order of Worship for Sunday, September 13th 2026

Leader: We gather today not because we know what tomorrow will bring,
People: but because we know the One who holds tomorrow.

Leader: We come carrying gratitude for what has been, questions about what is, and uncertainty about what will be.
People: Still, we place our hope in the Lord.

Leader: God has been faithful in every season,
People: and God is faithful still.

Leader: So let us bring our faith, our love, our questions, and our hope before God.
People: Let us worship the God whose faithfulness never ends.

Faithful God, you have walked with your people through every season—through beginnings and endings, through certainty and uncertainty, through joy and grief.

When we cannot see the road ahead, keep us from allowing fear to determine our path. Give us faith that takes shape in action, love that is willing to labor for others, and hope that endures when answers are hard to find.

Help us listen for your voice, listen carefully to one another, and trust that your presence does not depend upon everything remaining as it has always been.

Shape us again into the people of Jesus Christ, and give us courage to follow wherever you lead. Amen.

Generous and faithful God, everything we have comes from you. Receive these gifts and use them for your purposes. Where there is hunger, may they provide food. Where there is loneliness, may they create community. Where there is despair, may they bear witness to hope.

And as we offer these gifts, offer us again to your service, that our faith might be seen in what we do, our love in how we serve, and our hope in how we face the future.

In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
