We acknowledge you as our head. We anticipate your Spirit moving among us. We await your Word, knowing that through it our lives and loves will be reordered. Come to us in power to confront, convict and comfort, for we are your people, made in your image. Amen. PRELUDE & LIGHTING ALTAR CANDLES “His Eye is on the Sparrow” *HYMN: “Come, Christians Join to Sing” - #158 CALL TO WORSHIP: All: Day after day, an abundance of God's love, Leader: Morning by morning, new signs of blessing: All: A gentle rain, an awesome sunset, Leader: A friend's embrace, a child's smile, All: A new insight, a sense of peace, Leader: A shared meal, a treasured moment. All: All around us and deep within us are signs of God's presence. Leader: How can we not sing of God's faithfulness? HYMN: “Holy Spirit, Thou Art Welcome” - #327 PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Generous God, you have given us so much. Give us one more thing. Give us thankful hearts because we know our hearts can be hard and cold. We often hold on when we should let go. We are clutching when we should be spending, hoarding when we could be generous, doubting when we should lean on faith. We are fearful instead of trusting in your everlasting care. Open our hands and our hearts to the bounty of your love, which cares for the flowers of the fields, the birds in the air, each child who toddles, every parent who worries, every adult who struggles. Loving God, you have given us so much. Give us again the assurance of your love and care and fill us with grateful hearts and open hands. Amen.

November 9th, 2025, Worship Service Groveport UMC, Groveport Ohio To support the ministry of the church, please click here: https://groveportumc.org/give/ OPENING SONGS: “Open Our Eyes, Lord” WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS OPENING PRAYER: Dear God, we’re glad to be here. Please hear our prayers, enjoy our songs, and teach us through Your Word. Make our hearts kind and our choices wise. As we learn what You want, help us follow Jesus at church, at school, at work, and at home. Help us listen. Help us love. Help us share. In Jesus’ name, Amen. PRELUDE & LIGHTING ALTAR CANDLES “Onward Christian Soldiers” *HYMN: “God of the Ages” - #698 PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Benevolent God, we want to be wise investors; yet we confess that too often we invest our time, our talent, and our money foolishly. We invest in things thinking that things will give us security. When we come to worship we are reminded that Jesus came to give us abundant life, not to give us more stuff. In our better moments we know that stuff does not lead to eternal life; only a relationship with Jesus can do that. But we are anxious and foolish people. We confess of our myopic view of seeing the world through the lens of ourselves only. Heal us of our blindness and empower us with your vision of who we are and who we can become. Grant us the grace and courage to walk that narrow path which leads to you. Give us the courage of our convictions, O Lord of Life. Make us the people that you imagined at creation. Heal our lack of trust so that we may wholly and completely follow you as disciples of the Risen Lord. We genuinely desire to be your hands and feet in the world, so give us the volition to follow our hearts into a deeper relationship with you. Forgive us in all the places that we have fallen short and give us an enduring vision of the realm of God that we desire to serve. Help us learn to invest together and live as the gracious body of Christ in our community. In this and in everything we offer our prayers in the name of the one you sent to be our Messiah, Jesus Christ. Amen.
