God of all times and all places, be with us in this time and in this place. Just as you spoke to your people through prophets and poets, we pray we might hear the Word you speak to us today. Just as you spoke to your people through mighty deeds and wondrous miracles, we pray we might have eyes to see the Word you speak to us today. Just as you call your people to act in the midst of your creation, we pray we might have feet to walk and hands to reach out; for the sake of your Son, in whose name we pray. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP
Worship Christ, Eternal Son of God;
honor Christ, Incarnate Son of Mary;
Serve Christ, Glorious Ruler of creation;
to Christ belongs the power and the glory of the Almighty.
Let us worship our King together!
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Holy God, we confess we neglect to declare Jesus the king and model for our lives. We are quick to call on others to follow the ways of Christ yet slow to do the same. We are bold in demanding generosity, mercy, and forgiveness, yet quiet when it comes to offering inclusion, love, and compassion. Forgive us, O God. Restore in us, yet again, the commitment to be more like Christ in word, in deed, and in spirit. (Silent Confession)
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH – The Apostles’ Creed
OFFERING
With gratitude, let us offer ourselves and our gifts to the Lord. Please pray with me…
Almighty God, receive our offering for the sake of Christ our Lord. Make us worthy stewards of your gifts and generous citizens of the kingdom of your Son, Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen.
