*PRELUDE - LIGHTING the CANDLES
*Call to Worship
Leader: Come, people of God! The Master has called us together and entrusted us with much.
People: Our time, our gifts, and our lives are from His hands.
L: To one He gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to ability, and to each the same trust.
P: We will not compare what we have been given. We will be faithful with what is ours to carry.
L: God has not called us to dig a hole and hide His gifts in fear.
P: He has called us to put them to work-to love, to serve, to give, and to encourage.
L: So come with open hands and open hearts. Come ready to hear the words every servant longs to hear:
P: “Well done, good and faithful servant! Enter into the joy of your master.” We are here, Lord, invested in Your kingdom, ready to worship You!
