Call to Worship

Leader:  We gather, seeking clearer vision— to see ourselves and one another with honesty and hope.

People:  We come with open hearts, ready to notice what we’ve overlooked and to be changed by what we see.

Leader:  In every encounter, compassion can take root, and generosity can make us whole.

All:  Let us come together with courage and humility—to see, to listen, and to begin again in love.

Opening Hymn                                 Potluck Hymn                    

Scripture Lesson                Luke 19:1-10

Sermon                              “Changing Perspectives”                            Dr. Keith Ray

Thoughts to Ponder:  When Zacchaeus began to see the world through new eyes, generosity became his response.

Today, as millions face hunger from the pause in SNAP benefits, we’re invited to the same awakening —

to see not statistics, but neighbors;

not charity, but shared responsibility;

not scarcity, but the possibility of enough for all.

Transformation begins when we choose to see differently — and act accordingly.
