* CALL TO WORSHIP | Lyanna Castillo, Pastor of the Day
The church’s one foundation
is Jesus Christ our Lord;
we are his new creation
by water and the Word;
from heaven he came and sought us
that we might ever be
his living servant people,
united in love for thee.

* GATHERING SONGS
What a Friend We Have in Jesus | The United Methodist Hymnal No. 526 (verse 1)
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry everything to the Lord in prayer.

Jesus Loves Me | The United Methodist Hymnal No. 191 (verses 1,2)
Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong; they are weak, but he is strong.

(refrain) Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me! This I know, as he loved so long ago,
taking children on his knee, saying, “Let them come to me.” (refrain)

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms | The United Methodist Hymnal No. 133 (verses 1,2)
What a fellowship, what a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms;
what a blessedness, what a peace is mine, leaning on the everlasting arms.

(refrain) Leaning, leaning safe and secure from all alarms;
leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, leaning on the everlasting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day, leaning on the everlasting arms. (refrain)

* OPENING PRAYER | Ryan Seidlin, Pastor of the Day
God of greatness, we thank you for the grace given to us to be workers in Your kingdom. Remind us that there is only one foundation that can ever be laid, and that is in Jesus Christ. Help us to be wise builders who are mindful of what and how we build our lives. Enable us to build our lives with lasting materials like truth, hope, justice, mercy, grace, and love. Thank you for calling all of us, beloved children of all ages, to build up your church. Amen.

* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH The Apostles’ Creed | Mary Allyn Campbell
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence he will come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

* GLORIA PATRI
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

SCRIPTURE | Charlotte Castelein & Caleb Casanova-Hickman

1 Corinthians 3:10-13 | Common English Bible
¹⁰I laid a foundation like a wise master builder according to God’s grace that was given to me, but someone else is building on top of it. Each person needs to pay attention to the way they build on it. ¹¹No one can lay any other foundation besides the one that is already laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹²So, whether someone builds on top of the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, or hay, ¹³each one’s work will be clearly shown. The day will make it clear, because it will be revealed with fire—the fire will test the quality of each one’s work.

Ephesians 3:20 | New International Version
²⁰Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

These are the words of God for us, the people of God. Thanks be to God

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

Amen.
