WELCOME  

WELCOME ONE ANOTHER 

* CALL TO WORSHIP  
We gather today remembering that faith is never a solitary path. 

God forms us into a people who walk, serve, and grow together. 

In Christ, we are bound to one another—strengthening the weary, lifting the fallen,  
and celebrating every sign of hope. 

We come ready to share one another’s burdens and to carry one another with compassion. 

The Spirit knits us into a community where no one is left to face life alone. 

We open our hearts to the God who holds us together and teaches us to hold one another. 

Come, let us worship the One who calls us into a life of deep connection and shared purpose. 

With gratitude and trust, we worship the God who makes us one.

PRAYER  
Loving God, thank you for bringing us together as a community of faith. Remind us that we are not meant to make our way through life on our own. We need the encouragement, compassion, and support that comes from sharing life together. Open our eyes to those around us who may be struggling, feeling alone, or carrying burdens that have become too heavy. Teach us to be a church where no one has to face life's challenges alone, where we celebrate one another's joys, share one another's sorrows, and offer grace when the journey becomes difficult. Shape us into a community that reflects the love of Christ in the way we care for one another and in the way we reach out to those beyond these walls. Amen.

PASTORAL PRAYER 

THE LORD’S PRAYER  
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 and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

PRAYER BEFORE SCRIPTURE READING  
Gracious God, as I open these pages, open my heart to you. Give me wisdom to hear your voice, courage to trust your grace, and strength to live what I believe. Shape my words, my choices, and the way I love my neighbors. May the faith you have planted in me bear fruit in a life of compassion, mercy, justice, and love. Make my faith alive and active, so that through me, others may experience the love of Christ. Amen. 

SCRIPTURE  
James 5:7–20 | New Revised Standard Version, updated edition 
7 Be patient, therefore, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious crop from the earth, being patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. 8 You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near. 9 Brothers and sisters, do not grumble against one another, so that you may not be judged. See, the Judge is standing at the doors! 10 As an example of suffering and patience, brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 Indeed, we call blessed those who showed endurance. You have heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the outcome that the Lord brought about, for the Lord is compassionate and merciful. 

12 Above all, brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “Yes” be yes and your “No” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation. 

13 Are any among you suffering? They should pray. Are any cheerful? They should sing songs of praise. 14 Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up, and anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective. 17 Elijah was a human like us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. 18 Then he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth yielded its harvest. 

19 My brothers and sisters, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and is brought back by another, 20 you should know that whoever brings back a sinner from wandering will save the sinner’s soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. 

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