OPENING PRAYER:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy and Gracious God, 
You are the Shepherd who seeks the one from your flock that has gone astray, 
You remind us of the Woman who rejoices when the lost coin is found.
You pursue us with unrelenting grace and welcome us with open arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we gather in Your presence today,
open our hearts to Your mercy,
remind us of Your deep joy when even one soul turns back to You,
and help us to reflect that same grace to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May our worship today bring You joy,
and may we be drawn closer to Your heart \u2014
celebrating not only that we are found,
but that no one is beyond Your reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer ourselves to You in gratitude and praise.
In Jesus\u2019 name we pray,
Amen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
