*Call to Worship
God calls us to go into the unknown, trusting that God’s promises are true.
Whether we are certain or full of doubts, God blesses us that we may be a blessing.

Whether we are certain or full of doubts, God blesses us that we may be a blessing.
God sends us into the world to journey by faith, believing that God’s blessings are greater than anything we can imagine.
Whether the path is straight or winding, God blesses us that we may be a blessing.
Whether the path is straight or winding, God blesses us that we may be a blessing.
God gathers us today with trusted companions, those who also follow God’s call, even when it does not make sense to the world around us.
Whether we journey with friends or feel all alone, God blesses us that we may be a blessing.
Whether we journey with friends or feel all alone, God blesses us that we may be a blessing.
As we gather to worship, may we remember that we are God’s people, blessed by God to be a blessing to our world that is hurting and desperately in need of good news.
God, form us today as a family of faith, that your blessings might flow out of us and into our world, drawing all people into your promise of abundant life and flourishing. Amen.

*Prayer of Confession:
Almighty God, You have set before us the path, but we have wandered on our own to try to find our way.
Sometimes we are like toddlers, and we hear Your call and come back.
Other times, we are children testing boundaries, ignoring Your call until fear finally makes us look back.
And still other times, we are full of youthful rebellion, demanding to be cut loose and set free, not knowing how much we still need to seek Your wisdom and guidance.
But most of all, too often we think we are adults and have figured it all out and know our own way, only to stumble and stray so far.
Remind us, parental God, that we are always Your children, that we are never fully grown up in Your sight, that we always have much to learn.
Help us to seek You every day, to acknowledge that we need Your wisdom and guidance, and help us to return to the path and walk with You.
In the name of Christ, who is our companion on this journey of faith, we pray. Amen.
