CENTERING PRAYER
O God of promise, creator of the cosmos, you are the first light breaking through our void and the final light we shall eternally enjoy. Keep our hearts ever vigilant as we wait to welcome you, that you would find us clothed in love, dressed for action, and eager to receive you. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP
The heavens declare the righteousness of God.
The earth declares God’s beauty.
From the rising of the sun to its setting
God’s word shines forth in glory.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Holy God, you call us to do good, seek justice, and care for those in need, yet how often we place our own comforts above compassion for others. Forgive us, we pray, and cleanse us from these and all our offenses through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Silent Confession)

OFFERING
Invitation to the Offering
The Bible reminds us “where our treasure is, there our hearts will be also.” Let us honor God with a sacrifice of thanksgiving as we give our tithes, gifts, and offerings.
Prayer after Offering
Let us pray…Lord in Heaven, accept these gifts on behalf of your people, that they would increase faith, nurture hope, and be reckoned as righteousness in your sight. Amen.
