This worship service centers on the theme of calling out for change through mercy, vision, and justice. Rooted in the story of Blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52) and inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s call to interconnected justice, the service invites worshippers to open their hearts, eyes, and spirits to God’s transformative love and to rise courageously in pursuit of justice and compassion in the world.
