CENTERING PRAYER
Jesus Christ, show me how to encounter and share you without feeling as if I must explain you, that I too may be overcome with amazement and love. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in God’s word I hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning. In faith, let us turn to our God, whose love is sure.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Trusting you does not always come easy when each day we are faced with the ugliness of the world. We do not believe that love conquers fear. We are not convinced that power comes through weakness. We cannot conceive how you could heal us. Forgive our lack of faith, O God, and renew our trust in you, for we would be disciples of Jesus, in whose name we pray. (Silent Confession)
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
