Small seeds of faith
words – faith, belief, God
love, salvation,
resurrection
seeds, fruit, reminders,
Fed by the watering of the
word
the light of the Son
growing within, invisible
life in these words
mysterious, as the Spirit,
burgeoning forth,
a new creation, new life,
in the fullness of God’s
time
according to His plan.

and
Call to Worship:
It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name,
O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your
faithfulness at night, to the
music of the ten-stringed lyre
and the melody of the harp. For you make me glad by your
deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of
your hands. (Psalm 92:1-4 NIV)
Unison Prayer:
Loving God, we thank you for this day that we may come into
Your house and worship You. We ask that Your Holy Spirit
would fall down upon us gathered here so that we may
understand all that You would have us hear this day.
We thank you for the Spirit that you have gifted us with.
We pray that our worship would be pleasing in Your sight.
This we pray in the strong name of Your Son, Lord Jesus
Christ.
Old
Testament Reading: 1 Samuel 16:6-13
*Prayer of Dedication (unison)
Heavenly Father, you have offered
us such abundance.
We are so very blessed. Yet, we
often think that we have so little.
Some of us may even feel as though
our gift is too small.
Thank you for reminding us that
even our mustard seed-sized
gift may grow beyond our
individual possibility. So, today we
place before you all amounts of gifts
– some quarters from
children, some $1 bills from
adults, some larger bills and
checks – knowing that you
transform our scarcity into your
abundance. Thanks be to God. Amen.
