 Fruitland United Methodist Church July 27, 2025 Prelude Welcoming the Light of Christ and inviting the neighborhood to worship. Welcome and Announcements- Pastor Jorge and Chase *Call to Worship – Led by Chase Van Weerdhuizen We come, with open hearts, to encounter the God who walks with His people. We gather to listen, to sing, and to be transformed. The One who formed the earth and breathed life into our souls calls us to awaken. We awaken to the mystery of God’s presence in the everyday and sacred. God invites us to build community, embrace justice, and care for creation. We respond with love, with faith, and with action. In this time of transition and renewal, we affirm that the Spirit never leaves us, We walk with confidence, knowing that God is already present where we have yet to arrive. May this moment be altar and home, a place of gathering and sending forth. We worship God with gratitude and hope.

Open our eyes to see the sacred in the everyday, and let each breath be a prayer toward you. Amen. *Pastoral Benediction: May the God who listens with love walk beside you on the journey, strengthen your soul, and inspire prayer in every step you take.
