Worship Series: "Gathered Up in Jesus"
This Week's Theme: "Lost & Found"
Liturgical ResourcesLuke 15:1-3, 11b-32 is a familiar story to many, yet it bears retelling. The message of grace and acceptance no matter how far one falls is one we need to hear again and again. But perhaps we might consider reflecting on the older brother as we worship this week. His story might come closer to ours than that of the younger prodigal son – particularly if we are trying to emphasize radical hospitality.Worship Planning Notes
