Welcome – Glenda Walker

Now, let us prepare our hearts and minds as we enter worship and get ready to encounter God in a powerful way.

As we continue our stewardship journey, Give, Serve, Transform, I invite you to stand, as you are able, and join in our Call to Worship.” Remain standing for the Opening Hymn.

Call to Worship – Glenda Walker

Leader: Come, people of God, with grateful hearts, for every good gift comes from the Lord!

People: We come with thanksgiving, recognizing that all we have belongs to God.

Leader: God calls us to give not reluctantly or out of obligation, but with hearts filled with faith and generosity.

People: We give because God has first given to us, and we trust God to provide for our needs.

Leader: Our giving is more than an offering; it is an expression of our love, our trust, and our commitment to God's work.

People: May our gifts reflect our faith, and may our generosity bring glory to God!

Leader: Come, let us worship the God who gives abundantly and calls us to live generously!

All: We give with grateful hearts, we serve with willing hands, and we trust God to transform lives. Let us worship the Lord!

Praise & Petitions – Glenda Walker Proclamation – Ada McCoy

Psalm 78:1-7

1 Hear my teaching, O my people;

incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

2 I will open my mouth in a parable;

I will declare the mysteries of ancient times.

3 That which we have heard and known, and what our forefathers have told us, we will not hide from their children.

4 We will recount to generations to come

the praiseworthy deeds and the power of the LORD, and the wonderful works he has done.

5 He gave his decrees to Jacob

and established a law for Israel,

which he commanded them to teach their children;

6 That the generations to come might know, and the children yet unborn;

that they in their turn might tell it to their children;

7 So that they might put their trust in God, and not forget the deeds of God,

but keep his commandments;
