Welcome & Announcements
*Call to Worship Liturgist
L: Come, let us gather in unity, seeking God’s truth beyond our own understanding.
P. We come as one people, created to seek the wisdom that transcends our differences.
L: In the story of Babel, humanity reached for the heavens but forgot the call to humility and harmony.
P. We recognize our need for God’s guidance, seeking a purpose greater than ourselves.
L: God, who scatters and gathers, calls us to live in unity through love and not by power.
P. We come to be united in spirit, humbly surrendering to Your will.

Prayer for Illumination
Divine Creator, as we explore the realms of science, reason, and faith, grant us the wisdom to seek knowledge, the humility to embrace the unknown, and the insight to recognize the harmony between scientific discovery and the mysteries of faith. Guide us to greater compassion, empathy, and inclusivity, bridging the gaps between knowledge and belief. May our journey be filled with understanding, community, and the hope of a future where science and faith coexist in harmony. Amen

Next Steps:
Daily Reflection and Prayer: Set aside time daily to reflect and pray, combining scientific insights with spiritual truths. Observe nature, appreciate its intricacies, and see how science enhances your view of God's creation. A journal can help track your reflections.
Weekly Family Discussions: Start a weekly discussion on faith and science. Pick an article, book, or video and explore how science and faith connect. This encourages critical thinking and open dialogue.
Attend Local Science Events: Participate in local science fairs, lectures, or events to learn and grow in curiosity. Discuss afterward how science relates to your faith.
Volunteer in Community Projects: Engage in community service with a scientific or environmental focus, like clean-ups or educational programs. This shows how faith can drive action and care for creation.
