† Call to Worship Jesus is here, calling us to become his disciples. The time is now. We will follow the Lord of life. Jesus is here, calling us to leave our nets. Immediately! We will leave our nets and become fishers of men and women, boys and girls. Jesus is calling, now is the time, for the Kingdom of God is at hand. For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. † Hymn

† Prayer (in unison) O God, we come this day to pray for guidance in all aspects of our lives. Help us to remember that no matter what happens, you are always with us, in times of joy and sadness, life and death, silence and speech, dancing and mourning, war and peace. May we always live in such a way that we reflect the glory to your name. As we are mindful of the past, let us rejoice in the future. We pray in the name of the God of all our days and ways. Amen. † Passing of the Peace Children’s Message Congregation: Please join us in singing Jesus Loves Me. [Children may remain in worship or attend our Happy Club. There is no Children’s Church today.]
