• CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Come, all who have been met by grace—
People: We come, not because we are worthy, but because we are loved.
Leader: Come, all who have been caught by Christ—
People: We come, held fast by mercy we did not earn.
Leader: Come, all who are being changed—
People: We come, trusting that the One who began a good work will carry it to completion.
Leader: Jesus asks, “Do you love me?”
People: Lord, you know all things—you know that we love you.
Leader: Then come—
All: And let us worship the One who calls us, restores us, and sends us.
• HYMN: Praise to the Lord, the Almighty - No. 71
• PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Gracious and merciful Lord, we come before You as those who have known Your grace— and yet have not always lived as those changed by it. Like Peter, we have spoken bold words of devotion, and then, in quieter moments, denied You— in what we have said, and in what we have left unsaid. In what we have done, and in what we have left undone.
We confess the ways we turn back to what is familiar, choosing comfort over trust, self-protection over faithfulness, fear over love. We confess our tendency toward moralism—trying to prove ourselves, trying to earn what You have already freely given. And we confess our drift toward complacency— receiving Your grace yet resisting the change You desire to work within us.
Forgive us, Lord. Take our lives and shape us by Your grace. Turn our hearts outward in love, that we may follow You and feed Your sheep. Amen.

• AFFIRMATION OF FAITH: APOSTLE’S CREED
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.
