5/14/2022 0 Comments Prayers of the People, E5C Glory to you, God!
Blessing and glory and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen! Hear our prayers, O God: for the lonely and the grieving, for the imprisoned and marginalized, for those in pain and those who hunger, for the brave embattled and the terrorized. Help us to demonstrate your love for them in all we say and do. Hear our prayers, O God: for those who stand firm for freedom and those who threaten it, for those who are oppressed and those who are the oppressors, for those who are targeted and for those who do not understand their own hatred, prejudice, and privilege. Help us to demonstrate your justice in all we say and do. Hear our prayers, O God: for we who are them -- whose brokenness is evident and whose contributions to anger and vitriol draw dividing lines, making enemies of friends and foes of family. Transform out hearts. Make us instruments of peace, O God, and teach us true kindness, so that all who seek you may find you in us.

Jesus said to them, “... Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going ...” (John 12:35b) Let us confess the places where we have walked in darkness and seek the Light of God's unconditional love. Prayer of Confession God of Glory, we claim to see you as you are, but instead we see you as we have created you in our minds ... we have tried to remake you into our image instead of submitting to the Holy Spirit that we might be remade into your image. We put conditions on your commandment to love one another, choosing to love only those who look like us and behave like us and worship like us and come from "here." Forgive us, we pray. Transform our hearts, so that the love you pour over us is reflected in all we say and do. Shine your light in and through us, so that you may be recognized in us and glorified. Assurance of God's Grace Jesus said, ... "Because I live, you also will live." John 14:19b 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. 5/10/2022 0 Comments Call to Worship, E5C Come, little children.

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us Jesus Calls Us Will You Come and Follow Me? 5/4/2022 0 Comments Prayer of Confession, E4C Call to Confession
Jesus (said), “You faithless and perverse generation, how much longer must I be with you? How much longer must I put up with you?" (Matthew 17:17a,b) Let us confess our sin before God and seek God's mercy. Prayer of Confession God, forgive us. Too often, it cannot be said of us that we devote ourselves to good works and acts of charity. We are dying inside because of our lack of compassion for those around us and our inward-only focus. Forgive us, we pray. Transform our greed into generosity, our selfishness into selflessness, and our fearful individuation into lifegiving community, that all we do brings glory to you. Assurance of God's Grace [Jesus Christ] it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds. (Titus 2:14) 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. 5/3/2022 0 Comments Call to Worship, E4C Come, you who are grieving
and you who are holding on to hope. Come, you who have been restored to new life and you who fervently pray.

Lord, Speak to Me Thine Be the Glory I Love You, Lord How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord From the Nets of Our Labors (We Will Rise Up and Follow) 4/27/2022 0 Comments Prayer of Confession, E3C Call to Confession
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) Let us confess our sin before God and seek God's mercy: Prayer of Confession Standing before you, O God, our hearts laid bare at the sound of your voice, we beseech you: forgive us! Over and over and over, we have betrayed you. Hear us as we renew our devotion to you and promise to feed your lambs no matter what words they use to describe themselves; to feed your sheep, whatever their race or gender or creed; to feed your people, running in fear from war-torn and gang-infested places where poverty and oppression are rampant. We will feed them, Lord, with love and mercy, just as you would do. Assurance of God's Grace God has promised that when we confess our sin, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive us our sin, removing it as far as the east is from the west, and remembering it no more. (Psalm 103:12, Hebrews 8:12) 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. |
