- Opening Prayer
- Call To Worship – UMH 125 – Canticle of Covenant Faithfulness
- Seek the Lord who now is present, call upon the Lord, who is near,
- let the wicked forsake their way, and the unrighteous their thoughts;
- let them return, that the Lord may have mercy on them; that our God may abundantly pardon.
- For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
- For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return not but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
- So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I intend, and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
- Reading – [Ephesians 3:8-12 ESV]
- 8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
- 9 and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things,
- 10 so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.
- 11 This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,
- 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.

- 11 My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline or be weary of his reproof,
