GATHERING MUSIC Hymn of Promise
setting by John Carter
Welcome to this time of worship and contemplation. As music is played and we gather together, we invite you to
prayerfully center yourself in preparation for worship as a faith family. You may also write out prayer requests
on the provided note cards. These will be collected by the usher during the offering and then shared during the
“Prayers for All God’s Creation” time.
WORDS OF BLESSING AND WELCOME
† CALL TO WORSHIP
One: Come, Lord Jesus,
you too were tired
when day was done;
you met your friends at evening time.
All: Come, Lord Jesus.
One: Come, Lord Jesus,
you too enjoyed
when nights drew on;
you told your tales at close of day.
All: Come, Lord Jesus.
One: Come, Lord Jesus,
you kindled faith when lamps were low;
you opened scriptures,
broke the bread,
and shed your light
as darkness fell.
All: Come, Lord Jesus,
Meet us here.
PRAYERS FOR NEW HEARTS AND LIVES
We invite you now into a time of silent confession, as we consider the ways in which we have turned away from God
and harmed ourselves and others this week.
PROMISE OF FORGIVENESS
