Trinity Sunday Order of Service Praise & Worship Call to Worship One: We are all graduating! All: From faith to faith, from glory to glory — learning more and more about our place in God’s story. One: We are all graduating! All: Exchanging our will for God’s way; trusting God more day by day. One: We are all graduating in faith! All: Because faith is journey — not a destination, we are all des- tined to continue growing in God. One: Welcome to your commencement – your new beginning! All: Come, let us worship the One whose grace guides us and whose love saves us and serves as the commencement of our faith. Amen. Praise & Worship First Report Prayer

Offertory Prayer Gracious God, thank you for being a faithful teacher — demonstrating generosity, by giving your only Son for our sake. Help us to graduate in our understanding of generosity, as we worship through our giving. Help us to graduate in our understanding of how we and all our gifts could be used for your glory and your good work in the world. Bless these gifts, in the name of the One who was given, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The Spoken Word “Graduating in Faith” Ms. Ariel Carter The Invitation to Christian Discipleship “Go forth empowered by Christ’s light to serve like Christ.”
