WELCOME ONE ANOTHER

* CALL TO WORSHIP
We gather today carrying the joys and burdens of our lives.
We come as we are, knowing that God meets us in every season.

There are times when suffering leaves us with questions and uncertainty.
Yet, we trust that we do not walk through those places alone.

As Christ meets us in our suffering, He sends us to meet others in theirs.

We will walk with the hurting, stand with the weary, and bear witness to hope.

Let us worship the One who transforms suffering with His presence.

With open hearts and willing hands, we come to follow Jesus.

PRAYER
Gracious and compassionate God, we come today carrying the many realities of our lives. Some of us come with joy and gratitude. Others come carrying pain that may be known only to you. We give thanks for Jesus, who does not stand at a distance from our suffering. Jesus walks alongside those who are hurting and reminds us that suffering does not mean we have been forgotten or abandoned. Open our hearts today to the example of Christ. Shape us into people who do not look away from the pain of our neighbors. Give us eyes to notice those who are hurting, and courage to remain present when there are no easy answers. Send us to be your vessels of hope to a hurting community. 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 7:11-17 | New Revised Standard Version, updated edition
11 Soon afterward he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him. 12 As he approached the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow, and with her was a large crowd from the town. 13 When the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her and said to her, “Do not cry.” 14 Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, rise!” 15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. 16 Fear seized all of them, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us!” and “God has visited his people!” 17 This word about him spread throughout the whole of Judea and all the surrounding region.

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