PRAYER IN PREPARATION: Gracious God, the world is parched with thirst for the living water of your grace. So quench and fill us with your spirit that we may put aside our timidity and share our stories, even our lingering uncertainties of faith in Christ. By our witness, may others come and, with us, seek and drink the water of life. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP
We come, our souls thirsting for God.
We come to the One who supplies our every need.
We come, with prayers in our hearts.
We come to the One who listens to our hearts.
We come, with our hopes to be made whole.
We come to the One who brings peace, who gives us living water.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Everlasting God, you know us better than we know ourselves. We are parched by the heat of our desires. We are burdened by our failures. We are thirsty for hope, desperate for something more. Forgive us, O God. Shower us with life giving water. Quench our thirst . Pour your love into our hearts. Fill the wells of our faith. Bring us one again to life.
SCRIPTURE READING John 4:5-42, p. 94
