Will you leave everything behind and follow? People: Yes, we will follow! L: Jesus calls us to work together, to build up the Body of Christ as we mature in faith. Will you leave everything behind and follow? P: Yes, we will follow! L: Jesus calls us to grow, to become disciples formed in the likeness of Christ. Will you leave everything behind and follow? P: Yes, we will follow! L: Family of God, on this journey of faith, we are not alone—God is with us! P: Today, we choose once again to leave everything behind and follow Christ, who forms us as disciples, that we may live as disciples who transform the world. Amen. Opening Prayer Loving God, who surrounds us with grace, help us know your presence and receive your guidance today, that through our gathered worship, we might continue to build up the Body of Christ as we grow in maturity as disciples of Jesus Christ. Amen. Opening Hymn - #344 Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore (all 4 verses) Getting Into The Word Luke 5:1-11 Anthem Young People’s Time: Disciples Reflection: Discipling Offertory Doxology - #95 Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow Blessing of the Offering Calling Christ, you invite us away from the shallows into deep water, where trust replaces certainty, and Obedience becomes joy. As we offer these gifts, we remember that discipleship is more than surface faith; it is a willingness to follow you into risk, truth, and love. Take what we bring and shape it for your purposes: to mend nets, to speak truth with compassion, and to build a community that grows into your likeness. Be with us in the boat and on the journey, as we learn, stumble, and grow. Use these offerings to draw others into the deep, life-giving grace of your kin-dom. Amen. Prayers of the People Lords Prayer 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 have trespassed against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, now and forever.
