Sabbath - God awakens us to grace as we rest in His love and remember who we are through holy rest.
Scriptures • Awakened Through Sabbath
Liturgy
Call to Worship
There are few things older than the Sabbath.
A Sabbath rest still remains.
The Sabbath was created for humans;
Humans weren’t created for the Sabbath.
Jesus Christ is Lord of all,
Even Lord of the Sabbath.
Let us worship Him!
Unison Prayer
God of rest, we sometimes are like tired children, avoiding a nap at all costs. What would a good rest do for our souls? Give us a taste of your rest, the kind of rest you took on the first seventh day to enjoy the creation. We thank you in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Offertory Prayer
God of providence, we testify to the ways you meet our needs. Will you receive these offerings and bless them so that they will provide for the needs of others? We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
