Singing

During theGathering, our worship team will lead us in a number of songs. Kaleo strives to balance new, original music with some of the great hymns of our faith. As we sing our focus is not ourselves or the people around us, but telling Jesus how much we love Him. So no matter what kind of voice you have, sing out with all of your heart.

Teaching

At Kaleo, we believe that the Bible is God’s gift to us to show us who He is and what He’s done for us. Every week, Pastor Bill teaches straight from the Bible in a way that is helpful and challenging. If you don’t have a copy of the Bible with you, we have some at the end of each row – feel free to use one of ours. If you don’t own your own Bible, please take one of ours home as our gift to you.

Prayer

One of the greatest privileges we have as followers of Jesus is being able pray with boldness and confidence. We’ll pray together throughout our time this morning. Also, if you would like to have someone pray for you this morning, some of our deacons will be in the back during the response time after the message and would be glad to pray for you.

Communion

Communion is something that Jesus began the night before he died as a way for his followers to remember and participate in his death on the cross. At Kaleo, we celebrate communion together every week after the message. Kaleo welcomes all Christians who actively trust Jesus for salvation, who are willing to turn away from their sin to receive communion with us. You are welcome to come forward, take a piece of the bread, and dip it in either the wine (dark) or grape juice (light). If you are not able to receive communion, please use this time to meditate on one of the following prayers.

Prayer for Those Searching for Truth

Lord Jesus, you claim to be the way, the truth, and the life. Grant that I might be undaunted by the cost of following you as I consider the reasons for doing so. If what you claim is true, please guide me, teach me, and open me to the reality of who you are. Give me an understanding of you that is coherent, convincing, and leads to the life you promise.

Amen.

Prayer of Belief

Lord Jesus Christ, I admit that I am weaker and more sinful than I ever dared admit, but through you I am more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope. I thank you for paying my debt on the cross, taking what I deserved in order to offer me complete forgiveness. Knowing that you have been raised from the dead, I turn from my sins and receive you as my Savior and Lord.

Amen.

Giving

If you are our guest this morning, please do not feel obligated to give anything financially – we just ask that you place your connect card in the offering as your gift to us. During the time of response after the message, please feel free to give as God leads you in one of the offering containers in the front corners of the worship space.
