Centering Practice
Today, we encounter the glory of God revealed to us in Jesus
- Take a few moments to breathe
- As you sit, pray: “Be my peace”
- As you stand, pray: “Help me grow”
- As you spread your arms, pray: “Shine Your light”
Call to Worship
In the creation of all things,
God said, “Let there be light.”
In the face of Jesus,
the glory of God shines bright.
May the light of the Spirit
fill us with grace, wisdom, and mercy
to love God and our neighbors.
Amen.
Worship Songs
Sound of Adoration
When we were lost ones
You were the Shepherd that carried us home
When we were prodigals
You ran to meet us with open arms
And we can’t hold back our praise
When we were refugees
You were the One who took us in
When we were enemies
You paid the price for all our sin
And we can’t hold back our praise
This is the sound of adoration
Oh, how we love You
Jesus, we love You
You are the joy of all creation
Oh, how we love You
Jesus, we love You
You are the Risen One
You conquered death and made a way
You sang our freedom song
Now we are dancing on our chains
And we can’t hold back our praise
By the cross, I am free
Your grace changes everything
I was blind, now I see
Your grace changes everything
You Keep On Getting Better
I will sing of Your goodness
I will sing of Your love
Though the seasons come quickly
You have always been enough
Though the night may get darker
Though the waiting seems long
You have always been faithful
To remind me of Your love
You are good
In the morning I’ll sing
You are good
In the evening I’ll sing
You are good
You are good to me
You have always been patient
You have always been kind
You’re consistent through the ages
Oh, what a friend of mine
So I’ll remind my soul to bless You
Standing firm upon Your truth
Knowing You cannot be shaken
‘Cause I’ve seen what You can do, oh
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
When I cannot stand I’ll fall on You
Jesus, You’re my hope and stay
Community Prayer
God of all creation and every nation,
we pray that Your light would shine bright
for people and places suffering in darkness:
— Moment of silent prayer —
Make us instruments of Your peace,
showing Your love to our neighbors near and far.
Amen.
Assurance of God’s Love

Worship Song
You Hold It All Together
You come at the right time
When I least expect it
Never behind
So why would I be surprised
When You deliver every time?
On mountaintops, You stay the same
On valley low, You never change
And I believe that I will see
The goodness of the Lord
I’m confident as seasons change
Your faithfulness remains
You go, You go before me
To prepare a blessing
You madе a way
It’s more than I could imagine
More than I can fathom
Or comprehend
God of my present
God of my future
You write my story
You hold it all together
Scripture Reading
Mark 4:30-32
30 He also said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, 32 yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”
Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.
Together: Thanks be to God.

Invitation Fountain / Build My Life
All who are weak
All who are weary
Come to the rock
Come to the fountain
All who have sailed
On the rivers of heartache
Come to the sea
Come on be set free
If You lead me Lord
I will follow
Where You lead me Lord
I will go
Come and heal me Lord
I will follow
Where You lead me Lord
I will go, I will go…
All who are weak
All who are weary
Come to the rock
Come to the fountain
All who have climbed
On the mountains of heartache
Reach to the stars
Come on and give Your life
I will build my life upon Your love
It is a firm foundation
I will put my trust in You alone
And I will not be shaken
