(God promises,) "I alone am the one who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins." (Isaiah 43:25) Let us confess our transgressions before God and seek God's mercy. Prayer of Confession Forgive us, God, for we have sinned, and done what is evil in your sight. We have not been honest with ourselves or with you about the depth of our deception, the breadth of our complicity in the world's pain and suffering, or the length of our predicament. We can hardly face you knowing what we have done to our siblings in Christ, to your creation, and to you. Have mercy on us, we pray, and renew a right spirit within us, that we might be transformed by the grace your pour on us day by day. In Jesus' name we ask it, Amen. Assurance of God's Grace I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you. (Isaiah 44:22) Hear the Good News: In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! Thanks be to God! Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us also forgive one another. The peace of Christ be with you. Please extend the peace of Christ to all whom you encounter this week. 3/25/2025 0 Comments Call to Worship, L4C Gather together, you who are seeking forgiveness

O that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways! (Psalm 81:13) Let us confess the ways in which was have failed to listen to God and to walk in God's ways: Prayer of Confession Lord, in your mercy, have compassion on your people. Too afraid of the powers that be, we run away from doing what is right in the face of all that is wrong. Tormented by our fears, we allow anxiety to prevent us from living out your claim on our lives. We have turned away from the work you began and bowed to idols whose greed perpetuates illness and anxiety and fear in those who are most vulnerable. Forgive our impatience with you and with one another. Forgive our intolerance for active waiting. Forgive our lack of courage in speaking up and standing firm alongside you, we pray, and renew a right spirit within us that we might remember that we are your children, siblings together with Christ, and teach us to live accordingly. Assurance of God's Grace " ... and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, ..." (Hebrews 5:9) Hear the Good News: In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! Thanks be to God! Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us also forgive one another. The peace of Christ be with you. Please extend the peace of Christ to all whom you encounter this week. 3/11/2025 0 Comments Call to Worship, L2C Dear anxiety-ridden
and self-differentiated, come and sit together, and hear the promises of God. Dear tormented and peaceful come and join hands, and share the hope God offers. Dear sick and whole, come and be a ministry of presence providing healing and hope. Dear believers and those who turned away, come and tell your stories and listen to one another. Dear patient and impatient, come and organize to do the work of justice. There is no judgment here: this is a place of grace. Let us worship God.
