PRELUDE

* CALL TO WORSHIP | Connie Booth, liturgist
We gather to praise the God who meets ordinary people and entrusts them with holy purpose.

We come as followers, listening for the voice of Christ in our midst.

The call to discipleship is not a story from the past; it is God’s invitation for us today.

We come ready to learn, ready to grow, ready to be sent.

The Spirit urges us beyond what is comfortable, shaping our lives for God’s work in the world.

God forms us into disciples who live with courage, hope, and faithfulness.

Let us worship the One who transforms willing hearts into committed followers of Jesus.

We come to worship God and renew our calling to walk in the way of Christ.

* GATHERING HYMN
Lift High the Cross | The United Methodist Hymnal No. 159 (verses 1,2,3,4)
(refrain) Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
till all the world adore his sacred name.

Come, Christians, follow this triumphant sign.

The hosts of God in unity combine. (refrain)

Each newborn servant of the crucified bears

on the brow the seal of him who died. (refrain)

O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,

as thou hast promised, draw the world to thee. (refrain)

So shall our song of triumph ever be:
Praise to the crucified for victory! (refrain)

* OPENING PRAYER
Loving God, you meet us in the midst of everyday life and call us into something greater. We gather today as people who are still learning what it means to follow Jesus. Stir in us a willingness to listen, to release what holds us back, and to follow where you lead. Awaken in us the courage to be true disciples. When our nets feel empty, renew our hope. When we hesitate, strengthen our resolve. When we doubt our worth, remind us that you still choose us. Give us faith to follow your leading even when we do not know the way ahead. Shape us into faithful disciples, ready to serve, ready to love, ready to go wherever you send us. Amen.

* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
A Modern Affirmation of Faith - Pentecost Season
We believe in God, creator of all things, giver of life and breath. God is present and walks with us daily through times of joy and sorrow. We believe in Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh who lived among us. He was crucified, died, and buried. On the third day, He rose from the dead and lives today, bringing healing and hope to the world. He calls us to love God and all people, welcoming each person as part of God’s family. We believe in the Holy Spirit that came down on the first disciples to empower them, teach them, and lead them into all truth. We believe the same Spirit empowers us today as daughters and sons of God to transform the world with the amazing power of God’s love. We believe that God is still moving among us today: still creating, still restoring, and still filling us with power as we live each day for the glory of God.

* GLORIA PATRI
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

SCRIPTURE
Luke 5:1-11 | New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
1 Once while Jesus was standing beside the Lake of Gennesaret and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, 2 he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 Simon answered, “Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.” 6 When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to burst. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’s knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!” 9 For he and all who were with him were astounded at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.” 11 When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.

These are the words of God for us, the people of God. Thanks be to God.

MUSIC MINISTRY

Let Everything That Has Breath Praise the Lord | Mark Hayes
Chancel Choir
Praise God in the sanctuary! Praise God in the highest heavens! Praise God for all earthly wonders, too marvelous for words. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Let all people in every language lift their voice in one accord. Praise God with the sound of trumpets! Praise God with the lute and harp, with tambourines and dancing, with all sounds of strings and pipes! Praise God with the clanging cymbals, with loud resounding cymbals! Let every living creature shout praises to our God, from every corner of the earth, from every tribe and tongue, from now and through eternity God’s praises will be sung. Praise, O praise the Lord!

* DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; praise him above, ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

MORNING PRAYER

THE LORD’S 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 trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

* HYMN OF COMMITMENT
Go, Make of All Disciples | The United Methodist Hymnal No. 571 (verses 1,2,3,4)
“Go, make of all disciples.” We hear the call, O Lord,
that comes from thee, our father in thy eternal word.
Inspire our ways of learning through earnest, fervent prayer,
and let our daily living reveal thee everywhere.

“Go, make of all disciples,” baptizing in the name
of Father, Son, and Spirit, from age to age the same.
We call each new disciple to follow thee, O Lord,
redeeming soul and body by water and the word.

“Go, make of all disciples.” We at thy feet would stay
until each life’s vocation accents thy holy way.
We cultivate the nature God plants in every heart,
revealing in our witness the master teacher’s art.

“Go, make of all disciples.” We welcome thy command.
“Lo, I am with you always.” We take thy guiding hand.
The task looms large before us; we follow without fear;
in heaven and earth thy power shall bring God’s kingdom here.

* SENDING FORTH

* RESPONSE
Spirit Song | The United Methodist Hymnal No. 347
O let the Son of God enfold you with his Spirit and his love.
Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.
O let him have the things that hold you, and his Spirit like a dove
will descend upon your life and make you whole.

Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs.
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs.
