Worship Prayers for January 8

 CENTERING PRAYER 


 

Great Physician, we thank you for the faith of others that enables our own healing. Send us such sisters and brothers when we are in need, and help us to be friends to others in their times of distress; through Jesus Christ. Amen. 

 

 

CALL TO WORSHIP 

 

Do not remember the former things or consider the things of old. 

I am about to do a new thing, says our God. 

Now it springs forth – do you not perceive it? 

I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. 

For I will give drink to my chosen people, 

The people I formed for myself so they might declare my praise! 

Let us worship our forgiving God together. 

 

 

PRAYER OF CONFESSION 

 

Holy One, we do not remember the poor, and we fear you will not remember us in our time of need. We accept the injustices of the world, and we do not plead the cause of the widow, the orphan, the displaced, and the marginalized. O Lord, be gracious to us, heal us, for we have sinned against you. We ask this in Jesus’ name. (Silent Confession) 

 

 

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH – WCF SC Q1 

 

 

OFFERING 

 

God gives us a way in the wilderness and great rivers in the desert. Let us give generously so many may find the way of the Lord. Let us pray... 

 

God, you say yes to each of one of us, affirming your promises to us. We hope to say yes to you by dedicating these offerings for the expansion of your kingdom on earth, for the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
