CENTERING PRAYER
Holy God, by the cross and resurrection of Jesus, you lift the suffering world toward hope and transformation and open the way to eternal salvation. As we move ever closer to the passion of Christ, may you write your law of love on our hearts. Draw us closer to your way, to your cross, and to your love for the world. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP
Happy are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the LORD.
Happy are those who keep his decrees,
who seek him with their whole heart.
We will praise you with upright hearts,
when we learn your righteous ordinances.
We delight in your statutes;
We will not forget your word.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Redeeming God, we confess we do not love you with our whole heart, and we do not love our neighbors as we ought; we stray so far from your commandments. Do not remember our sins, but forgive our iniquities, that we may fix our eyes on you and stumble no more. We pray this in the powerful name of Jesus. (Silent Confession)
