Prelude                                                  My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Opening Hymn* 2173               Shine, Jesus, Shine

Call to Worship                    (based on Matthew 4:12-23)

Ldr:     The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,  and for those who sat in the region and shadow of  death, light has dawned.

Ppl:     We gather as those who have seen the light of  Christ and come to worship Him.

Ldr:     Jesus came proclaiming, “Repent, for the kingdom of  heaven has come near.”

Ppl:    The kingdom of God is here among us, and we turn  our hearts toward Him.

Ldr:    Jesus called to the disciples, “Follow me, and I will make  you fish for people.”

Ppl:    We hear His call to follow, to leave behind our old  ways and embrace His purpose for our lives.

Ldr:    Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

Ppl:    Help us to respond with that same urgency and  faith, ready to follow wherever He leads.

Ldr:    Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching, proclaiming the  good news, and curing every disease and sickness.

Ppl:    We come to encounter the living Christ, who still  teaches, heals, and brings good news to all who  seek Him.

All:     Let us worship the Lord with glad and willing  hearts!
