Order of Worship for Sunday, February 2nd 2025

Leader: Come into the presence the Holy Leader:
All: We are only human, imperfect and unsure!

Leader: Come and do not be afraid
All: We are only human, easily paralyzed by fear or by awe.

Leader: Come just as you are!
All: We are only human, but since Christ calls, we will follow.

Master, we have worked all day and night, for many months and years. We yearn for a heavy catch, a full church, an abundant feast. Forgive us God, when we are too tired to cast our nets one time; when we are too stubborn to do things a little differently. Have mercy on us, when we are too afraid to dive into deep waters and take a risk.

Grant us grace, that we may proclaim your word, work for your kingdom, and trust your promises. Amen.

Leader: Do not be afraid! Christ has called. Christ has redeemed us.
All: Christ will save us all.

Increase the strength of these gifts, and the strength of our ministries, O God. Expand the nets of our love, so that we may reach deeply and share abundantly. In Christ’s name, we pray.
