*Prayer of Dedication

God of abundance, in you we trust and believe—
you who richly provide, who call us by name,
who go before us with steadfast love.
We thank you for the gift of faith,
planted through the voices and lives of those you’ve sent.
You are our strength when we falter,
our vision when the way ahead is unclear.
Receive these offerings, O Lord,
and use them to rebuild your beloved community—
not only in stone and structure,
but in lives made whole, relationships restored, and justice pursued.
May these gifts become good news:
a living witness that calls others to life in your name.
In Christ, our Shepherd and Savior, we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading

Cherie Grunzke

​​

1 Peter 3: 15-16
15 Instead, regard Christ the Lord as holy in your hearts. Whenever anyone asks you to speak of your hope, be ready to defend it. 16 Yet do this with respectful humility, maintaining a good conscience. Act in this way so that those who malign your good lifestyle in Christ may be ashamed when they slander you.

​

John 1:40-50
40 One of the two disciples who heard what John said and followed Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated Christ). 42 He led him to Jesus.

Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon, son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).

43 The next day Jesus wanted to go into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.

45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law and the Prophets: Jesus, Joseph’s son, from Nazareth.”

46 Nathanael responded, “Can anything from Nazareth be good?”

Philip said, “Come and see.”

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, “Here is a genuine Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”

48 Nathanael asked him, “How do you know me?”

Jesus answered, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”

49 Nathanael replied, “Rabbi, you are God’s Son. You are the king of Israel.”

50 Jesus answered, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these!

​

Leader: This is the Word of God for the people of God.
People: Thanks be to God. Amen.
