CENTERING PRAYER

 

O God, who opens our prison doors and releases us from our faults, keep us near to you in the hours of each day. We long to drink your living waters, know true joy, and serve you through the completion of time. Amen.

 

 

CALL TO WORSHIP

 

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.”

Let everyone who is thirsty come.

Let everyone who hears say, “Come.”

Let everyone who is thirsty come.

Let anyone who wishes take the water of life as a gift.

Let everyone who is thirsty come.

Come to the tree of life, the Alpha and the Omega.

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

 

 

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

 

Gracious God, you call us to everlasting springs to be drenched and reformed, but we fail to heed you. We do not turn with love to our neighbors, to ourselves, or to you. Forgive us for our failings, shield us from our due, and guide us into the unity with all for the sake of the whole world. (Silent Confession)

Eternal God, who brings joy out of sorrow, plenty out of want, life out of death: we thank you for the treasures of your creation and the blessing of your presence. Accept these offerings, we pray, for the sake of the One who brought us back to you. Amen.
