February 9, 2025 Worship Service Groveport UMC, Groveport Ohio To help support the ministry of the church, please click here https://groveportumc.org/give/ OPENING SONG: “Lord, I Lift Your Name on High” with “In the Name of the Lord” WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS OPENING PRAYER: Dear Lord, as we gather together this morning to praise and learn, we ask that you send us the Holy Spirit to calm our anxious minds, set at ease our worried hearts, and prepare us for a genuine encounter with you. Thank you for inviting us to spend time in your presence. Amen. PRELUDE & LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES “Rejoice Ye Pure in Heart” *HYMN “Amazing Grace” #378 CALL TO WORSHIP: L: Great is the grace and glory of God. P: We give thanks with hearts of joy. L: Great is the strength and mercy of our creator. P: We give thanks with hearts of hope. L: Great is the courage and hope of our Lord. P: We give thanks with hearts of faith. L: Great is the mercy and compassion of the Holy One. P: We give thanks with hearts of love. HYMN “Will You Come & Follow Me” PRAYER OF CONFESSION Too often, we have clung to thoughts that we are too sinful for you. Too often, we have fused our shameful pasts with a closed future. From these beliefs, we condemn ourselves to an outlook without hope. “Go away from me!” we exclaim like Peter. “I am way too lost,” we think like Isaiah. But you have something different in mind. You see us as so much more. You see our divine image, and our creator-bestowed gifts. Save us from our negative self-talk, that we may embrace your calling for our lives. Amen. WORDS OF ASSURANCE FIRST SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 OUR TIME OF PRAYER (During our time of prayer, the altar rail is open for all who wish to come forward.)

January 26 Service Groveport UMC, Groveport Ohio To help support the ministry of the church, please click here https://groveportumc.org/give/ WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS OPENING PRAYER: You have brought us, O God, to another Lord’s Day, when we are privileged to worship you with our brothers and sisters in Christ. May we have unity of mind and heart as we open ourselves to the movement of your Holy Spirit. As your love grows within us, may we have rich fellowship with you and with one another. In Christ’s name. Amen. PRELUDE & LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES “It Is Well With My Soul” *OPENING HYMN “Holy, Holy, Holy ” (please refer to the screen) CALL TO WORSHIP: L: God's glory is pouring forth from the heavens. P: Earth below receives the good news with great joy. L: The promise is sure and true, that Jesus has come to show us the best ways to serve God. P: By serving and caring for others, we truly serve God. L: Come, let us prepare ourselves for joyful service. P: Lord, make us ready for great service in your name. AMEN. HYMN “Surely the Presence” - 328 PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Waiting God, you know us all too well. We listen to this episode in the life of Jesus. We hear the astonishment of the people gathered in worship as Jesus proclaims the mandate and scope of his ministry. It is what they had hoped for and also what they have feared. Change and challenge are always difficult. We are more inclined to turn our backs on opportunities of service than pitch in to affect the needed changes that will promote healing and wholeness. Forgive us when we give lip service to you and then slip into inaction. Give us courage to be willing disciples. Help us to be people of promise and hope. In Jesus' Name, we offer this prayer. AMEN. WORDS OF ASSURANCE FIRST SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Corinthians 12:12-31a OUR TIME OF PRAYER (During our time of prayer, the altar rail is open for all who wish to come forward.)
