Announcements and Welcome

Breakthrough Prayer

Abundant God, we are bursting

with anticipation

to see the new that you have in store

for Faith Church and our community.

Thunder forth your will for fresh possibilities!

“See I am about to do something new.

It begins now! Don’t you see it?” (Is. 43:19)

Lord, help us to see clearly

the next steps on your path. Amen.

Prelude

Call to Worship

For those who have not been welcomed before,

You are welcomed by Christ here.

For those who have been turned away,

Christ is opening the door for you.

For those who have been forgotten,

God cannot forget you, for God made you.

Come, join together in worship of our God.

You are God’s beloved. We welcome each other in the name of Christ. Amen.

Unison Prayer

Almighty God, sometimes the difficulties and burdens of our lives cause us to doubt your goodness. We are an anxious people, often grasping to trust in your promise to work all things for good. Increase our faith and grant us your peace, that our lives will demon-strate our trust in you. We ask this with confidence, knowing that we are your beloved children. Amen.
