20th Sunday after Pentecost

Prelude
Introit: Come, Now is the time to worship
Welcome
Call to Worship:
M: Come, beloved in Christ, to this time of worship, as we gather to explore the theme of 'Trauma and Healing,' finding inspiration in the story of Jesus healing the bleeding woman in Mark chapter 5.

P: We come with hearts open, seeking healing and restoration, knowing that our faith too can make us whole.

M: Just as the woman's persistent faith moved her from suffering to wholeness, let us trust in the power of Christ's love and grace.

P: With hearts open, we embrace the transformative power of Christ's love, drawing near in faith and anticipation. Amen.
