ORDER OF WORSHIP
CENTERING PRAYER
Wondrous Vinegrower, you make all things new in water and Word, feeding your people with love, joy, and peace. Lead us today and every day to the font of new beginnings. Teach us to love what you command and to prune what does not nourish your creation. We pray this in the name of the Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer, one God, now and forever. Amen.
PRELUDE Pipings! Sotuhbridge
WELCOME and ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
In the wilderness, water brings life.
Seek us out, O god, and take us to the water.
In the Word of God, the good news gives light.
Seek us out, O God, and fill us with understanding.
In the bread and the wine, the body of our Savior nourishes everyone.
Seek us out, O God, and give us yourself.
Come and praise the True Vine that gives all goodness.
† HYMN “Fairest Lord Jesus” Hymnal #630
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
God of mercy, we confess we do not bear the good fruit of the Spirit. We do not love others as you love us. We deny the promises of baptism and cut ourselves off from you. Forgive us, restore us, and renew us. Help us to abide in your love and live out your mercy. (Silent Confession)
