CALL TO WORSHIP

Jesus says, “Where two or three are gathered
in my name, I am there among them.”
Christ is here.
Calling us to the water,
beckoning us to the feast,
Christ is here.
Speaking to our souls,
listening to our prayers,
Christ is here.
Binding us as one body,
sending us out in service,
Christ is here.
Jesus says, “Where two or three
are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”
Christ is here. Let us worship the Lord.

HYMN OF PRAISE “Almighty God” (McCracken)

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Forgiving God,
You teach us to seek reconciliation
with those who have wronged us;
for, above all else,
we are to love one another.
But we let resentment smolder
until anger flares,
destroying any chance of peace.
We blame others and refuse to repent.
Grant us grace, we pray.
Make space in our wounded hearts
for the possibility of forgiveness,
and teach us to turn toward others in love
as you have turned toward us. Amen.
