CALL TO WORSHIP

We Come Broken.

This is the story of hope.

We come fearful.

This is a story of peace.

We come cynical.

This is a story of liberation

We come empty.

Listen for the story of life. 


OPENING HYMN: “Go Down, Moses” #448 UMH


OPENING PRAYER

Days pass and the years vanish, and we walk sightless among miracles.

Lord, fill our eyes with seeing and our minds with knowing;

Let there be moments when your presence, light lightning, illumines the darkness in which we walk.

Help us to see, wherever we gaze, that the bush burns unconsumed.

And we, clay touched by God, will reach out for holiness, and exclaim in wonder:

How filled with awe is this place, and we did not know it:

“Blessed is the Eternal One, the holy God!” Amen.

CALL TO WORSHIP

From Bethlehem to Nazareth,

From Jordan to Jericho,

From Bethany to Jerusalem,

From them to now

Come Jesus.


To heal the sick,

To mend the brokenhearted,

To comfort the disturbed

To disturb the comfortable,

To cleanse the temple

To liberate faith from convention,

Come, Lord Jesus.


To carry the cross,

To lead the way,

To shoulder the sin of the world

And take it away

Come, Lord Jesus. 


Today,

To this place,

To us,

Come, Lord Jesus. Amen.


OPENING HYMN: “Deep in the Shadows of the Past” #2246 TFWS


OPENING PRAYER

Jesus gave himself for us, God.

We’ll never qual that with our gifts.

Out gifts will never pay you back,

But they can say “Thank you, God.”

And as we give our lives for others,

We let you know we understand.

So, Accept our gifts, God of grace,

And use our lives however you choose. Amen.

CALL TO WORSHIP


Lord, we have come to see that our lives fall far short of your glory.

Lord have mercy and forgive us.

Lord you have given your life for us, and poured out your Spirit,

Yet we fail to return your love with our heart.

Have mercy and change us.

Too often we are selfish and proud,

Ignoring you, Lord, and neglecting others.

Have mercy and cleanse us.

Lord, when we do not truly trust and obey you,

We are overwhelmed by self pity, fear and worry.

Have mercy and deliver us.

In Christ we are given a sure hope and secure love,

Yet we follow the false hopes and desires of the world.

Have mercy and forgive us.

Father, through the redeeming death of your Son on the cross,

By your Spirit and through you word,

Transform and renew us to follow you with joy.

All this we ask, confident in your unchanging faithfulness. Amen.


OPENING HYMN: “in Christ there is No East or West” #548 UMH


OPENING PRAYER

Almighty God, to you all hearts are open,

 all desires known and from you no secrets are hidden.

Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit,

That we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
