WELCOME

WELCOME ONE ANOTHER

* CALL TO WORSHIP
Today we gather as people who do not yet know what tomorrow will bring.

We come trusting that God will walk with us, even when the way is uncertain.

God invites us to live with open hearts, ready to follow wherever the Spirit leads.

We open ourselves to God’s guidance, knowing we cannot walk this path alone.

In our uncertainty, God is our steady ground; in our questions, God is our faithful companion.

We acknowledge our dependence on God, who leads us with wisdom and grace.

Let us worship the God who calls us to trust, to hope, and to step forward in faith.

With gratitude and confidence, we place our tomorrows in God’s care.

PRAYER
Loving God, we come before you carrying all that rests on our minds and hearts. Some of us look toward tomorrow with hope and anticipation, while others hold questions, worries, or fears about what may come. Teach us to loosen our hold on what we cannot control and to rest in your faithful leading. Open us to the quiet work of your Spirit. Shape our desires, steady our steps, and attune our ears to your voice. Remind us that faith is not certainty about the future, but trust in the one who walks with us. Calm our anxious thoughts and give us hearts ready to follow. Lead us into tomorrow with courage, openness, and hope. 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.

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 4:13–17 | New Revised Standard Version, updated edition
13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a town and spend a year there, doing business and making money.” 14 Yet you do not even know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wishes, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil. 17 Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do and fails to do it commits sin.

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