GREETING AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

PREPARATION AND PRAISE

PRELUDE

OPENING PRAYER (in unison):

Holy and gracious God, So often we feel like we belong on life's clearance rack—battered by burnout and carrying our flaws. Silence the voices telling us we aren't enough.

Open our hearts to Your Word today. Remind us that You sought us out in our brokenness, paid full price on the Cross, and claimed us exactly as is.

Thank You for looking past our dirt and seeing Your masterpiece.

In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

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.​
