“present your body a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service”
Bright Star & St. James Sunday service featured worship, congregational announcements, community outreach initiatives, and a sermon titled "Walk it Out" (2 Cor. 5:6–8) emphasizing walking by faith not by sight. Leaders promoted regular prayer calls, a capital campaign/tabernacle project, back-to-school resource events, grief support, and the Prayer Around the Schools (PATS) initiative calling 1,000 houses of worship to cover schools in monthly prayer. The service included altar invitations, a call to tithing/giving, and recognition of Mother Lillian Hall with an annual Church Mother's Day observance.
