Question: What is one area of your life where God is inviting you to trust more deeply right now?

By the end of worship, we’re invited into a deeper response: trust.

Not a blind certainty, but a steady faith that God is present, even when the path isn’t clear. Trust is what carries us from calling into sending—and sustains us along the way.

We don’t go alone. We go as people who have been gathered, fed, and sent.

Think on this: What would it look like to trust God just one step more this week—not with everything at once, but with your next step?

It’s more than a concert—it’s a celebration of growth, dedication, and the power of music to bring people together.

Come support these amazing young musicians, be inspired by their hard work, and enjoy an evening filled with meaningful music.

Question: Where might God be sending you this week—even if you don’t feel fully ready?

In Mark 6:7–13, Jesus sends the disciples out with very little—no extra provisions, no guarantees, just trust in God and one another.

That’s how God often works: not when we feel fully prepared, but when we’re willing.

Even in worship, we’re being shaped and sent. What we sing and hear isn’t meant to stay in the sanctuary—it’s meant to move through us into the world.

Tidbit: In Scripture, being “sent” is never about having everything you need—it’s about trusting the One who sends you.

Question: Where do you hear God calling you right now—and what is one small way you can respond?

We begin this week with a simple but powerful truth: God calls.

Before we sing, serve, or step forward, God has already spoken our name. Music in worship isn’t just something we offer—it’s a response to that call. Every note becomes a “yes” to God’s invitation.

This week, listen for the ways God calls not just in big moments, but in the quiet, ordinary spaces of life.

How is God shaping your hope today?

Daniel 12 points to a hope bigger than hardship; God’s promise of redemption and new life.

Hope isn’t passive, it calls us to live faithfully now.
