CENTERING PRAYER
Holy God, who calls your people into one beloved community, who teaches us the way of peace through life together, who fills us with visions of your eternal reign: as we now celebrate the communion of saints, pour into our hearts the power of Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP
We have gathered today in search of reformation.
We want to reform ourselves, our church, and our society.
We stand fearless at the edge of change.
For God is in the midst of us and we shall not be moved.
Be still, and know that God is God.
God is our rock and our redeemer.
Come! Let us worship our eternal God together.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
God of the covenant, who calls all people to reconciliation, you made us members of the very body of Christ; yet we persist in wounding that body with our divisions, our suspicions, and our neglect. Forgive us, and teach us to nurture unity and peace. For the sake of Jesus Christ and the world he came to save. (Silent Confession)
