Order of Worship for Sunday, May 31st 2026

Leader: Before the mountains were formed, before the stars were set in place, God was.
People: Creator, Christ, and Spirit—eternal in love.

Leader: In the beginning, God spoke life into creation.
People: And even now, God speaks life into us.

Leader: In Jesus Christ, God came near to the hurting, the weary, and the lost.
People: God’s love took on flesh and dwelt among us.

Leader: Through the Holy Spirit, God comforts, challenges, and renews the world.
People: We are held in holy relationship by the God who creates, saves, and sustains.

Leader: Come, let us worship the Triune God.
People: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty!

Gracious God, You created us for relationship, yet we often choose isolation. You call us into love, yet we cling to fear, pride, and control. Christ came among us in humility, yet we resist lives of service and compassion. Your Spirit moves among us even now, yet we ignore your leading and close ourselves to transformation.

Forgive us when we reduce faith to ideas without love, belief without compassion, or worship without relationship. Hear now the silent confessions of our hearts...

[Silence]

Restore us, renew us, and draw us again into the life of your grace. Amen.

Leader: The God who created you in love, came near to you in Christ, and remains with you through the Holy Spirit has not abandoned you.
People: In Christ we are forgiven, restored, and held in God’s eternal love. Thanks be to God! Amen.

Generous God, all that we have comes from you. You created us in love, redeemed us through Christ, and continue to sustain us by your Spirit.

Receive these gifts and use them to reflect your love in the world. Feeding the hungry, welcoming the stranger, comforting the hurting, and proclaiming hope.

May our lives become part of your ongoing work of creation, redemption, and renewal.

Amen.
