*CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Jesus prays for us — for all who would believe through the word of His disciples. He calls us into the unity He shares with the Father.
People: We come to dwell in that unity, to be one in Christ, and to glorify God with our lives.
Leader: Jesus prays that we would be sanctified in the truth, set apart for God’s mission in the world.
People: We open our hearts to God’s Word, that we may be shaped, purified, and sent.
Leader: Jesus prays that the love of the Father would live in us, and that His joy would be made complete.
People: We gather to receive that love, to share that joy, and to walk in the way of Christ.
All: Holy God, make us one. Unite us in your truth, fill us with your love, and send us into the world as witnesses of your grace. Amen. Compiled by CoPilot June 21, 2026
Opening Prayer
Gracious Lord, You are the One whose name brings healing, freedom, and life. Forgive us when we try to limit Your work or draw boundaries around Your grace. Open our eyes to see your Spirit moving in places we did not expect, and open our hearts to rejoice whenever your kingdom breaks through. Make us humble, generous, and united in purpose. Teach us to celebrate every act of mercy done in your name, whether through our hands or the hands of others. Fill us with your love, that we may join your work with joy and faithfulness. In the powerful name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Compiled by CoPilot June 21, 2026
