CHIMING OF THE HOUR
WELCOME
CALL TO WORSHIP *
Leader: We come from a world that tells us to hold on tightly.
All: But God invites us to live open-handed.

Leader: We come carrying worries about what is enough.
All: But God meets us with daily provisions and care.

Leader: We come with both needs and gifts to offer.
All: And in community, God makes a way for all to be sustained.

Leader: Come, let us worship the One who provides for today.
All: We come to trust, to share, and to receive.

OPENING HYMN * Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah No. 127 v1, 2 and 3

UNISON PRAYER *
ALL: God of daily bread, you see what we carry and what we lack before we ever speak it. Teach us to trust you for today and tomorrow, releasing our fear of not having enough and our need to control what comes next. Open our eyes to those around us, that we might give freely and receive humbly, knowing that we belong to one another. Form in us a community where no one is overlooked and all are cared for through your provision. Lead us into a way shaped by trust, generosity, and your faithful presence each day. Amen.
