The Gospel Ensemble opens our worship with *I’ve Got to Tell Somebody* by the Georgia Mass Choir, setting the tone for a powerful service centered on hope, renewal, and testimony. Our Call to Worship reminds us that we serve a God of second chances—one who continues to make all things new. As we recognize **Second Chance Month**, we gather as a community committed to grace, healing, and restoring dignity to all, especially those impacted by incarceration.
We lift our voices in the Morning Hymn *Love Lifted Me* (#504), followed by a moving litany led by Deacon Mary Brown, calling us to stand in the gap for those who are hurting, marginalized, and seeking restoration. Rev. Dr. Rashad Raymond Moore will lead us in congregational prayer, and the choir will minister through *Lord Keep Me Day by Day*. A special Baby Blessing will be led by Rev. Beaulah E. Smith, celebrating new life and God’s continued faithfulness.
Sis. Alecia Mason will share Life at First Baptist, followed by Pastoral Emphasis from Rev. Moore. We will continue in worship through the Ministry of Giving—please use the link in the description to give online. As we prepare for the Word, we will reflect through the meditation *Completely, Yes* by Sandra Crouch.
The sermon will be delivered by **Rev. Dr. Darren A. Ferguson**, Pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church in Harlem, bringing a timely word of transformation, justice, and hope. The service will conclude with the Invitation and Benediction led by Rev. Moore, sending us forth committed to living as people of grace, restoration, and second chances.
