CENTERING PRAYER
God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who gives us birth by water and the Holy Spirit, teach us how to live always in integrity of body, mind, and spirit, in obedience to your love, in the name of Jesus Christ, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be all honor and glory now and forever. Amen
CALL TO WORSHIP
God calls us by name into the presence of holiness as God’s holy people. We answer this call by the grace of God, through the power of the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, let us worship God.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
O God, on lonely Mount Moriah you put your servant Abraham to the test. We confess that we have failed much lesser tests of our faith. We have allowed sin to run our lives, to shape how we act toward others, and to kill our relationship with you. In your great mercy, forgive us. Change even our bodies from implements of destruction to instruments of your peace; for the sake of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. (Silent Confession)
