CENTERING PRAYER
Eternal God, the great I AM, your Son Jesus Christ is the true bread from heaven. Draw us to Christ that we may receive nourishing grace for our journey in this world. May we at last know the joy of everlasting life with Christ, who dwells with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP
I will bless the Lord at all times;
God’s praise shall continually be in my mouth.
O magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt God’s name together.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Merciful God, we confess we do not live as your faithful children. We are angry with the world and nurse grudges against our adversaries. We hoard the fruits of our labors rather than share our bounty with the needy. We do not build up our neighbors with words of kindness but engage in evil gossip. We do not forgive the wrongs of others even though we desire your forgiveness toward us in Jesus Christ. Heal us, O God, and give us the grace to love as Christ loves. (Silent Confession)
