Worship May 24


THE TIME OF CENTERING: O God, whose glory is our hope, whose love is our deepest joy: Open us this day to the presence of your Spirit and the truth of your gospel, that our lives may be challenged and our faith strengthened; through Jesus the Christ, to whom with you and the Spirit, one holy God, be honor and praise, now and forever. Amen

CALL TO WORSHIP
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. 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, we confess that we are forever confessing, forever counting on your promise of forgiveness but not on the life-renewing power of your Spirit. Let that Spirit move among us now; let it burn away all ego and selfishness, all laziness and sloth. Let it move and transform us before we confess again. We pray in Jesus name. Amen

SHARING THE PEACE OF CHRIST
The peace of Christ be with you.
And also with you.

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
