PRAYER IN PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP: Out
of earth’s dust you have breathed us
into life, O God. You have made us
and we are yours. Enable us in this worship to sense your strong presence
and accept with humility your gentle guidance in all our living. Amen
CALL TO WORSHIP
One: One: In the beginning was God. God’s
Spirit moved across space and time. From chaos was order established;
from darkness came forth light; from the very stuff of the earth was humanity
created. God gave life with the breath of God’s Spirit.
Many: We rejoice in the life we have been given. We come to worship God our
Creator. Thanks be to God!
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
O God, whose Spirit
came in tongues of fire, save us from the fire of our tongues. Forgive us
the sharp comment, the unkind cut, the easy lie, the smooth flattery. And
pardon our silences: the witness not made, the truth unspoken, the
comfort held back, the praise not offered. By your living Word, empower
our words, that in the freedom of forgiveness we may serve you in joy.
Amen
