WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS
OPENING PRAYER:
Merciful God, We’re surrounded by voices claiming to speak the truth. Some try to mislead, manipulate, or use us for their own gain. So much of what we hear is distorted or shallow— just quick takes and headlines, not real wisdom. But You, Lord, are different. You come to us as the Way, the Truth, and the Life— not just another voice, but the one we can fully trust. Thank You for offering us a deep, lasting truth— a truth that fills us, grounds us, and sets us free. Amen.
