CALL TO WORSHIP

O God, you are our God;
our souls thirst for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
We have looked upon you in the sanctuary;
we have seen your power and glory.
Our lips will praise you as long as we live;
we lift up our hearts and call on your name. Let us worship God!

 

HYMN # 245 Chris the Lord Is Risen Today!

 

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Even with those simple commandments, Eternal Love, we manage to get it wrong. We misuse your name on an almost daily basis, and dishonor our friends and neighbors by talking behind their backs. We hunger for what others have, and think we can put you in a box, storing you away on a shelf. We find little enough time for our families, for ourselves, you - much less setting aside an entire day for that rest you call Sabbath.
Forgive us, Abiding Love. We think we are so wise with the choices we make, only to end up with all that keeps us from you. Your Word has come, to fill our speech with grace, with hope, with peace. As we journey to Jerusalem, may we invite others to join us as we seek to follow Jesus Christ, our Lord, our Savior.

 

 

ASSURANCE OF PARDON

Day to day, God offers us mercy and hope.

Moment to moment, we are surround by God's never-ending love.

Friends, trust this Good News for you!
God takes our brokenhearted prayers and crafts them into words of grace, of joy, of peace.

Thanks be to God, we are forgiven.

Amen.
