* CALL TO WORSHIP
Come, people of God, just as you are.
We come as we are, trusting that God's love has already welcomed us.
God does not wait for us to have everything together before calling us.
God starts with who we are and leads us into who we can become.
As we are welcomed, we learn to welcome others.
We open our hearts and lives to the love of Christ.
Let us worship the God who meets us where we are and leads us where we never imagined we could go.
We worship the one who is always calling us into something new.

Yes I Will

CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER
Gracious and welcoming God, you meet us where we are and call us by name, not because we have earned your love, but because your love reaches out to us first. Thank you for seeing us and calling us before we have it figured out. Thank you for inviting us into a life that is always becoming new. Open our hearts to receive your grace. Teach us to extend the same welcome we have received from Christ, so that strangers become neighbors, neighbors become friends, and together we discover the joy of belonging in your family. Amen.
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.
SCRIPTURE
Luke 19:1–10
|
New Revised Standard Version, updated edition
1
He entered Jericho and was passing through it. 2 A man was there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was rich.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see him, because he was going to pass that way. 5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him.
7 All who saw it began to grumble and said, “He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner.”
8 Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much.” 9 Then Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost.”
These are the words of God for us, the people of God. Thanks be to God
