PRAYER IN PREPARATION: Redeeming God, you come to us in Christ to rescue us from slavery and lead us out of captivity. Guide us by the wisdom of the cross, and show us how to live a life of peace, love, and blessedness. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP
Show us your unfailing love, O God,
and grant us your peace.
Listen to what the Lord our God says:
“I promise peace to my people, who are my beloved saints.
The Lord will indeed give what is good.
Righteousness goes before the Holy One and prepares the way for us.
May God’s face shine upon us in this time of worship.
May we see God’s face and so know peace.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
O Lord, our God: We live in a world in confusion; our peace depends on you. We are a sinful people; our pardon depends on you. We are full of good intentions but weak at keeping promises; our only hope of doing your will is that you should come and help us do it.
O Lord, our world waits for your peace, for your pardon, and for your grace. Create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a right spirit within us. Through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
