OPENING SONG: “Majesty” #176
WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS
OPENING PRAYER:
Lord, today we gather to worship you. Meet us here. Help us set aside our worries and expectations, and be fully present with you. May all we do be pleasing in your sight. Bind us together in love. Amen.
PRELUDE & LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES “God of Grace and God of Glory“
HYMN: “Hail to the Lord’s Anointed” - #203
CALL TO WORSHIP:
Leader: Welcome to worship this day!
People: We have come seeking God’s blessings and love.
Leader: They shall be given to you.
People: We have come seeking forgiveness and healing.
Leader: These will be offered to you. Open your hearts to receive God’s Good News.
People: We open our hearts to all of God’s words and ways for us. AMEN.
HYMN: “Through It All”
PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
We are incredibly stubborn, O Lord. We have entered the season in which Your Light has been given to the world, your blessings have been poured out on the world, and yet all we can think about is our own problems, our own needs, our own desires.
Help us to desire you, Lord. Help us to yearn for your presence. Pour your baptismal waters over us again, cleansing us from our self-pity and arrogance. Nourish and heal us so that we may joyfully serve you. Wash away our jealousy, greed, and all negative thoughts and behaviors that stand in the way of our truly being the people you have called us to be.
Again let us receive the blessings offered in creation, in the birth and baptism of Jesus, and in the ministry of the saints of light. We ask this in Jesus’ Name. AMEN.
