PRELUDE
We are excited that you are worshiping with Gethsemane today. CALL TO WORSHIP:2
Welcome pilgrims on the way to the cross.
We are learning to follow Jesus.
The journey is long, and the burden of our sins and struggles feels so heavy.
Yet we will hope in God because with God, there is steadfast love.
All around us, we witness neighbors and communities who are lifeless, despairing that they could ever be revived.
Yet God tells us that to come back to life, we must come together.
Year after year of change and struggle have taken their toll\u2014how can anyone bring forth life when we feel so parched and tired?
Yet God meets the lifeless with the breath of life, reviving us again to worship and follow God\u2019s way.
Pilgrims on the way, come let us worship God!
We come to worship God as we learn to live inside out! Amen.
