Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever disobeys the Son will not see life but must endure God’s wrath. (John 3:36) Let us confess our disobedience before God, and seek God's mercy: Prayer of Confession Forgive us, O God, for we have entered your congregation not to praise you, but to gather your word like sticks that we can use to hit one another with. We have failed to recognize that sticks die when separated from the body of the tree. We promise to pay our vows, but we fail to follow through, or we change the vows to suit our own desires, rather than live by the constructs of faithfulness you have established for your people. Hear our prayers, O God, for we who have forgotten to remember you in times of want and in times of plenty, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of conflict and in times of unity. Deliver us, we pray, from our own arrogance. Renew a right spirit within us, that we might remember that you are our God, and we are your people. Assurance of God's Grace For our sake God made the one who knew no sin to be sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21) 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. 4/23/2024 0 Comments Call to Worship, E5B Come, you poor and hungry.
Come, you who seek the Lord. Come, you families from every nation. Join your praises with the great congregation! Proclaim God's deliverance to all who will hear it! Acts 8:26-40 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+8%3A26-40&version=NRSVUE

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) Let us confess our sin before the Great Shepherd and seek the Shepherd's mercy: Prayer of Confession Forgive us, Great Shepherd, for we have gone astray like lost sheep. We hoard resources out of fear that there will not be enough to go around, and we might be the ones who go hungry instead of trusting in your unimaginable abundance, day by day, hour by hour. We race through life without pausing to listen for your voice, so that we do not recognize it when we hear it because we fear that pausing -- even for a moment -- will result in being overtaken, and we fear losing power, fame, and the privilege our society grants those with both. We struggle in the darkness because we fear what we cannot see instead of walking in faith toward a future filled with hope. Create in us a new heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us. Teach us to appreciate your goodness and mercy. Remind us to rest securely in the leadership of a Shepherd who loves and cares for all the flock and calls them each by name. Assurance of God's Grace God has promised that when we confess our sin, God, who is faithful and just, removes our sin as far as the east is from the west and remembers it no more. 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. 4/16/2024 0 Comments Call to Worship, E4B Come, you who are weary,
or hungry, or thirsty, or anxious, or all of the above. Come enjoy the lush abundance of God's amazing grace. Come rest in the comforting stillness of Christ's enveloping peace. Slow down enough to allow goodness and mercy to catch up to you. Allow the Spirit to minister to you, to infiltrate you, to uplift and inspire you. Come and worship that you might be restored.
