Leader: Let us worship the One who walks with us every step. People: We worship the God who gives us guidance. Hymn - “O Worship the King” - #476 Verses 1, 2, 5 Prayer of Confession God of Guidance, we confess that we often trust our own maps more than Your path. We rush ahead without listening, clinging to familiar roads instead of faithful ones. We allow our fears to determine our direction. Too often we ask You to bless our plans instead of seeking Yours. Forgive us for wandering from Your voice. Recalibrate our hearts, renew our trust, and remind us to follow Jesus, who is not only the destination but our companion along the path. We pray this in the holy name of Jesus, Amen.

Song - “Trust in God” Offering and the Lord’s Prayer Doxology Affirmation of Faith - From Unity’s CPJ Team We believe that we are followers of Jesus Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and entrusted by God, our Creator, to seek justice, speak up for the widow, the orphan, the immigrant, and the poor. We believe that we are guided by Jesus to love our neighbor as ourselves, to feed the hungry, refresh the thirsty, clothe the naked, tend the sick, and visit the imprisoned. As followers of God, we celebrate the diversity of God’s people and seek to build bridges of understanding and equality, trusting that God is still renewing the world through acts of mercy, courage, and love.
