CALL TO WORSHIP

We come to God, our holy shepherd, as we come to a green meadow.

     God prepares a place for us, and we give glory in God’s presence.

How excellent is this dwelling place under the eyes of God’s care.

     We turn to God in joy. Our good shepherd provides for all our needs.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

     Saving God, we are in awe of the power of resurrection, and we give you glory with our hallelujahs, but we carry lingering doubts about your saving power in our lives. We ask why you do not answer our prayers quickly enough. We demand signs to prove the reality of your promises. Sometimes we find ourselves wondering when you will show up to ease our pain. We pray now that you will help us in our impatience and unbelief. Forgive us and free us to recognize your presence. Amen

​

DECLARATION OF PARDON

The promise of Christ is sure, even in our moments of doubt. He shows up and says, “Peace be with you.” Hold on to this peace, for in it is the loving forgiveness of our doubts. May the blessing pour from our lips when we remember this peace, and may we exclaim, “My Lord and my God.”
