WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS
BREAKTHROUGH PRAYER:
Amazing God, We pray that through the Holy Spirit Your preferred future for Groveport United Methodist Church will be made clear to us. Give us the courage we need to follow You wherever You may take us. We ask that You bind us together in love so that we can bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to our friends, families, and community. Open our eyes so that we may see the amazing things You are already doing among
us. AMEN.

CALL TO WORSHIP:
L: “When the storms of life are raging, stand by me”;
P: Lord, hear my cry and rescue me!
L: “When the world is tossing me like a ship upon the sea”;
P: God who rules wind and water, stand by me.
L: God stands with you in bright sunshine and deepest storm.
P: God gently guides us to safety and peace. Thanks be to God. AMEN
HYMN “Stand By Me” #512
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Lord, please forgive our weakness and our lack of trust in you. We are like the disciples who, in the midst of fears and storms, could only tremble and wonder about the threatening events. Even when Jesus called to the disciples, they shook with fear. But Jesus offered words of encouragement. Impulsive Peter asked Jesus to call to him
and bid him come out of the boat. Jesus complied and Peter stepped over the edge onto the waves — but fear claimed him again and he began to sink.Many of us can identify with that moment when we let go of our faith and clutch onto our fears. Help us to place our trust totally in you and your call to us. You will guide and lift us to safety — that is the promise you have given to us and we believe it. When our faith slips, scoop us up and bring us peace. Be patient with us, for we are flawed and yet loved by you. Give us strong hearts and willing spirits to be your disciples.
AMEN.
