Message: “The Hope That Sustains Us”

*Prayer of Confession – All
Lord, we confess that we have often placed our hope in things that do not last. We have turned away from You, forgetting that we have already been rescued by Christ. Forgive us for not living as children of Your kingdom, for not bearing fruit, for letting fear dim our faith. Today we return to You, and we ask You to renew in us the hope that comes from the gospel. Thank you for loving us and sustaining us. In Jesus, our living hope, Amen

*Pastoral Benediction:  May the wind of the Spirit guide you, may the fire of his love illuminate you, may the grace of God sustain you, now and always. Go in peace, and may your voice always be one of welcome.  Amen

Song of Blessing: “Go Now in Peace” UMH #665
