WORSHIPING TOGETHER:
From Everywhere to Everywhere
INTRODUCTION
Worship is one dimension of mission. Worship, liturgy, and prayer are part of the spiritual discipline that
calls us to actively participate in God’s mission. This collection of worship resources, offered as gifts from
missionaries and others serving with the General Board of Global Ministries can be used in corporate
and personal worship. In addition to using this resource in worship, consider using these materials in
your personal devotion and Bible study life. Use them in church meetings, Sunday school classes, agelevel ministries, or small group studies. As you worship using these resources from different regions, also
remember the people in these communities. Lift them in your prayers every day!
All of the resources are organized by their potential use in worship; however you are encouraged to use
them in ways that best fit your worship design or personal devotion and prayer. Some of them were written
for specific situations, adapt these for your worship context. Sorrows, concerns, and joys come to us all, no
matter where we serve.
You are encouraged to read each of the missionary biographies on the Global Ministries website as
you prepare for worship: www.umcmission.org/missionary. You will find a picture, description of the
missionary’s ministry, as well as an email to be in conversation with him or her if you want to know more.
Consider adapting this information to share with your congregation (possibly a notice in your bulletin or
verbally in worship.)

OPENING PRAYER, INVOCATION, CALL TO WORSHIP
1. Opening Prayer
God of all people, we come together to be a community, a community of faith striving to grow closer
to you and closer to each other. Be with us as we seek to hear from you, where you are at work, and
what you require of us. You created us all to be agents of your love, justice, and mercy. Help and
empower us in these tasks. Amen.

2. Opening Prayer
O God, Searcher of all our hearts, you have formed us as a people and claimed us for your own. As
we come to acknowledge your sovereignty and grace, and enter anew into covenant with you, reveal
any falsehood within us. Let your Spirit impress your truth on our inmost being, and receive us in
mercy, for the sake of our mediator, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

3. A Well-Watered Garden
A centering thought or opening prayer, based on Isaiah 58:6–11.
Loving God in heaven,
Your desire is that we grow in you.
You urge us to send our roots deep, and draw from the life-giving water you provide.
Your perfect plan is for your church to be:
a well-watered garden,
a cool and quiet place that nourishes and inspires the weary soul with the
wonder and wisdom of the eternal God,
a pleasant refuge that exudes the sweet-smelling aroma of Jesus Christ to the disillusioned,
an oasis in a dry place that itself drinks of the Spring that never dries up,
and gives direction to the searching and confused,
a bountiful pantry that satisfies the hungry with good food,
a symphony of color and diversity where others may sit for a minute
and behold the beauty of the Lord.
And when the time comes,
Help us to submit to your careful tending and pruning,
That we may bear more fruit for your glory
In the name of your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Holy and gracious God, you are the source of all light. Through your Word, pour out the Spirit of
wisdom and understanding on us, so that our hearts and minds may be opened to know your truth
and your way. Speak your eternal Word to us that we may respond to your gracious promises with

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
9. Prayer of Confession
All:
God of love, we confess we often fail. We do not love all of our neighbors; we
sometimes do not even love everyone inside of our congregation. Free us so that
we can love like you. We ask for forgiveness for those times when we have turned a
blind eye to the injustices we see. Forgive us for our closed hearts.
All:
We confess that we find it easier
to speak up for people than to speak with people,
to get to know others, than to walk in their shoes.
All:
Humble our hearts, so that we may see your divinity in all of your creation.
(Allow a time for silent prayer of confession.)
One:
Hear this good news, God forgives again and again; in the name of Jesus Christ you are forgiven!

10. Prayer of Confession
Gracious God, we often struggle with what it means to be faithful. Sometimes we surround ourselves
with comfortable symbols. We see bread and juice, anointing oil, the cross, and our safe sanctuary.
We look for familiar signs in our church that are all around us. Our friends sitting near, our favorite hymn
being sung; it is very reassuring. Sometimes our church is a mighty fortress closing out the world.
Outside these doors there are others. They are not sure they want to enter and we confess we are not
sure we want them here.
Forgive us our narcissism. Forgive us our complacency, praying for you to act when we are here.
May we remember Christ has no body but ours. Help us to find that vital and disturbing faith which
transforms. Help us not to confuse the symbols of faith with faith itself. May we be Christ’s body in the
world. Amen.

11. Prayer of Reflection and Confession
Sunday morning and I could be sleeping. I know the service by heart. No need for the hymnal when
we say the Creed, Lord’s Prayer, or Doxology. I will be told again that I am forgiven, God loves me, and
Jesus has saved me. Sometimes though, I feel an emptiness. I didn’t have to come today, but I did.
Forgive me, Lord, when I fail to show others compassion. Forgive me my safe faith built on routines.
Help me to be open to new paths.
Maybe it is not so bad to say the Social Creed once in a while. It reminds me of why I first joined this
church. Perhaps it is time for me to re-examine my faith and find new ways to be faith-filled. Forgive
me, Lord.

12. Our Confession
Creator, we are fragmented. You intended us to be one: woven together and safe in your arms. We
have pulled society’s fabric into pieces, attempting to gain control for ourselves. The media often do no
more than reinforce and polish our narrow views. We weld idols from broken shards of understanding
and rely on them instead of your provision. Slowly, we erect a wall of fearful self-interest that becomes
our shrinking prison. What we call “security” is a miserable separation.
Though stitches hurt for a moment, sew us together again, Lord. Guide us in The Way when we
are vulnerable, so we can grow to be faithful, kind, and resilient. Join our hands and hearts with
distant communities so we can be whole, in solidarity and love. Warm us with your closeness, Great
Counselor. Amen.

13. Confession
One:
People in need are knocking at the door,
hungry, homeless, at risk.
One: Here at home, and in many countries,
doors are closing:
doors of opportunity,
doors of compassion,
doors of welcome,
they are all closing.
All: I am the door, Jesus said.
One: People are lost and looking for a way.
Desperate, in danger,
but there’s no way forward;
and they can’t go back.
One: So they die on the open seas,
in freight containers,
at border crossings.
All: I am the way, Jesus said.
One:
People in terror are telling their stories,
reporting abuse, rape, massacre.
by government soldiers and officials.
We choose to believe
the official story
or close our ears and our eyes to documented accounts.
One:
All: I am the truth, Jesus said.
One:
All: Forgive us, O God, for slamming doors,
for building roadblocks and detours,
for putting our self interest before your truth.
One: Make us hungry and thirsty for your justice,
All:
make us uncomfortable with the way things are
so that we keep finding ways
to open doors,
to make ways straight
and to hear and tell the truth,
All:
in the name of the one who is the Door and the Way,
the Truth and the Life.

CREED
14. Credo
Creo, Dios, que tú no eres en primer lugar nuestro Juez y Señor, sino nuestro Padre y Madre, porque
oyes el clamor de tus hijos e hijas oprimidos. Que estás en los cielos, hacia donde se dirige nuestra
mirada en medio de la lucha. Santificado sea tu actuar liberador contra los que nos oprimen, muchas
veces en tu nombre. Venga a nosotros tu justicia, empezando por los más empobrecidos. Hágase tu
voluntad y tu liberación, que empiece en la tierra y termine en el cielo.
Que el pan que producimos todos juntos cada día, lo podamos compartir y comer juntos. Perdona
nuestro egoísmo en la medida que luchamos por erradicar el egoísmo colectivo. Y no nos dejes caer
en la tentación de explotar a los demás para acumular riquezas. Mas líbranos de la venganza y del
odio contra el malo que oprime y reprime. Amén.
Creed
(Translated into English by Miguel Mairena, author.)
I believe, God, that you are not primarily our Judge and Lord, but our Father and Mother, because you
hear the cry of the oppressed—your sons and daughters. You are in heaven; we raise our eyes to you
in the middle of our struggles. Hallowed be your liberating actions against those who oppress us many
times in your name. Let your justice come to us, beginning with those most impoverished. Let your will
and your liberation begin on earth and end in heaven.
Let the bread that we produce every day be shared and eaten by all. Forgive our selfishness in
the measure that we strive to eradicate collective selfishness. And keep us from the temptation of
exploiting others to accumulate wealth. Deliver us from vengeance and hate against those who
oppress and repress. Amen.

CONTEMPORARY PSALM
15. Psaume à partir de l’Écriture: Souffrance d’une servante
Oh Dieu, aie pitié de moi et secours-moi
Oh Dieu, viens en hâte au secours de ta servante.
Ne regarde pas mes péchés et mes iniquités.
Mes os se consument au-dedans de moi
Mon âme languit et se dessèche.
Chaque jour, je suis en pleure.
Oh, si mes larmes pouvaient donner vie, elles le feraient
Mais le souffle et la vie ne viennent que de toi seul, Eternel mon Dieu.
Dieu de grâce et de miséricorde
Tu n’as pas eu pitié de ta servante ;
Tu n’as pas écouté ses prières et ses supplications
Tu as fait descendre ta servante dans l’abîme, au séjour des morts.
Tu as brise en moi orgueil, force, vie …
Mes ennemis se rient de moi
Et me demandent où est ton Dieu ?
Je ne suis plus que l’ombre de moi-même
Semblable à un arbuste brulé par le soleil dans le désert
Père saint jette un regard favorable sur ta servante.
Apaise son cœur !
Mon cœur saigne ! Qui viendra panser ma plaie ?
D’où me viendra le secours !
Le secours me viendra de l’Éternel seul qui a fait les cieu et la terre.
Le secours me viendra de l’Éternel seul qui est maître de toute chaire et de tout esprit.
Mon âme ne t’attriste pas.
Aie confiance en Dieu.
Il te secourra dans sa grande miséricorde.
Il fera de toi une source d’eau vive. Amen !
Psalm from Scripture: Suffering Servant
(Translated to English by Jacqueline Agré, author.)
Oh God, have mercy on me and rescue me
Oh God, hurry to the aid of your servant.
Don’t watch my sins and my iniquities.
My bones burn inside of me,
My soul is languishing and drying out.
Every day, I mourn.
Oh, if my tears could give life, they would,
But breath and life come from only you, Lord, my God.
God of grace and mercy,
You have not had pity on your servant;
You have not listened to her prayers and her pleas,
You sent your servant down to the abyss, in the realm of the dead.
11
You have broken my pride, strength, life . . .
My enemies laugh at me
And ask me, “Where is your God?”
I am a mere shadow of my former self,
Similar to a shrub burned by the sun in the desert.
Holy Parent, take a positive look on your servant.
Soothe her heart!
My heart is bleeding! Who will come to heal my wound?
Where will help come from for me?
Help will come to me from the Lord, who made the heavens and the Earth.
Help will come to me from the Lord, who is master of all flesh and spirit.
My soul, do not sadden.
Have confidence in God.
God will rescue you in God’s great mercy.
God will make you a source of living water. Amen!

18. Our Life as God’s Poem: A Centering Moment
Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which
God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (KJV). In ancient Greek, the word translated
as “workmanship” is poiema, which is the root of the English word “poem.” This verse could be
understood to say: “for we are God’s poem . . . ”
If our life is a poem written by the hand of God, then it is God’s lyrical masterpiece filled with twists and
turns, metaphors and similes that are written to testify to God’s faithfulness. Through a life of devotion
and service to Christ, we learn that when we put our hand in God’s hand and trust God in the face of
fear; good things, including those good works that Christ has called us to do, are on the other side.
God’s plan for our lives is not only for us, but also for those around us.
Oh Lord, we are your poem. Help us to be the tablets upon which you carve a life of Christ-centered
obedience, commitment, and service to others. Amen.

20. Prayer for the Children
Lord, you are our refuge and strength, our Mighty God, our Great Help in time of need. Right now, as
we focus on the children of the world, we remember your words to “Let the little children come to me,
and do not stop them.” We bring these children before you. These precious children around the world
who have yet to know the loving kindness of the Savior; we bring petition on their behalf.
We pray for the abused children around the world, we pray that your love will overshadow and touch
them where they are. May there be someone who will go in your name to bring deliverance and hope
to the lost children of the world. May there be someone who will fight for the cause of the children and
rescue them from child slavery. May there be someone who will show God’s love to bring healing to
their hearts and hope for their futures.
We pray for all the neglected children who are alone and hungry at night. May there be someone to
show them Jesus’ love and compassion to provide food and shelter for the body and the soul. May
there be someone who will teach and train them in the ways of God. May there be someone who will
be willing to bring God’s truth in love and deed. May there be someone to take these children by the
hand and bring them to Jesus. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

25. The Call to Discipleship Litany
One: The Creator is our Source and Strength. Our God is a force like wind and flame, spreading
wide and penetrating lives. The Holy Spirit of the Lord is calling across the globe, calling to
every society, calling for every disciple’s life, soul, and strength!
All:
We hear, we understand, and we take action. Our hearts are like hot coals.
One:
This calling breaks familiar shackles and melts idols. It upsets every false foundation, yet
creates a movement that cannot be deterred. Christ’s disciples lay down their singular lives in
exchange for collective responsibility. They will be peacemakers: the children of God.
All:
We hear, we understand, and we take action. Ignite our hidden gifts with your breath.
One:
The call to discipleship grates against corrupt institutions, religious and secular. Christ’s
disciples are challenged to love enemies, without conceding, and ask questions for which they
have no easy answer. They will say, “love justice and resist evil” with smiles upon their faces
because their energy comes from the Eternal One.
All:
We hear, we understand, and we take action. Fuel and sustain our endeavor, we pray.
One:
At every moment, Jesus chose to be the perfect image of the Creator’s love by being
present with those who sought him. Not content to be pure by the exclusion of sin, he
reached to the despised, the ignored, the lepers, and the racially different. He offended people
with power. They crucified him, but his principles were too momentous—unstoppable.
All:
We hear, we understand, and we take action. Christ’s torch will never be extinguished.
One:
All:
19
Humanity has let fear and greed fragment our world. The curtains that divide us also
separate us from God. At first, our curtains are as thin as shut eyelids but they smother
us as we lose compassion for our unseen brothers and sisters. Christ’s disciples will open
the nations’ eyes and lead them by the hand. They will blast the concrete walls and loosen
the tourniquets of steel that mar Christ’s vision. They will choose love and solidarity, not
selfishness masquerading as security.
We will hear, we will understand, and we will take action. Together, we can tear apart
the curtains that prevent wisdom and compassion from spreading. Draw us near to
your warmth, Creator, and near to each other in the fullness of time. Amen.

26. Prayer of Lament
One: Teach us to lament, Lord.
Teach us to weep until our eyes are swollen shut and no tears can fall.
Teach us to wail until our every breath is a gasp and we have no strength left to stand.
Teach us to grieve until the very core of our being is one with all of your children.
All:
Teach us to lament, Lord.
One:
All: Teach us to love, Lord.
Teach us to love until there are no more persons willing to commit suicide with bombs.
Teach us to love until there are no more persons who use guns against the innocent.
Teach us to love until there is no violence against one another in our communities.
Teach us to love, Lord.
One: Teach us to witness, Lord.
Teach us to be with each other as we offer clean water to the thirsty and food to the hungry.
Teach us to join together to be messengers of your justice and reconciliation.
Teach us to share the story of your grace and love offered to all.
All: Teach us to witness, Lord.
All: Teach us to lament.
Teach us to love.
Teach us to witness.
Teach us, Lord, we need to learn from you.
Amen.

27. Opening Prayer During Eastertide
Creating God, your overflowing love is evident in the beauty of creation around us. We see your love in
the abundant colors of the wings of each creature that flies, in the sunrise over the oceans, and in the
glow of the moon at night.
We hear your love in the sounds of the world around us—in drops of rain tapping on leaves, in the
laughter of children, and in the powerful winds that blow across the face of the earth.
We have experienced anew your creating love through the Easter “alleluias” that still echo in our hearts.
We hear shouts of joy that proclaim, “Christ is alive!”
Yet, Lord, we also hear the wailing cries of your people in communities destroyed by tornados,
earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters.
We hear the shouts of violence in war-torn cities and villages, in every street, and in too many homes.
We see hunger in the eyes of people in every community. Hunger for food, for water, for safe places to
live, for loving arms of comfort, and for the spiritual food of your Word and your love.
We see the pain of injustice in the faces of those who have no available medical assistance, in workers
who struggle in unhealthy work environments, and in the eyes of mothers who lose their children to
warlords and slavery.
Today, loving One, like the women of the first Easter morning, we walk with hope-filled hearts towards
an empty tomb. We find ourselves in the dimness of the dawn, waiting for the sunrise of a world filled
with shalom. Melt the dimness, Lord, and fill us with the light of your new day.
While we wait, God of glory, we commit our lives to sharing the joyful news of the resurrected Christ
as we serve with our sisters and brothers around the world. We join our “alleluias” with your people
gathered here and in every corner of the earth. Grant that we may sing “Christ is Risen” triumphantly to
a world that needs to hear that you are alive, just as you promised.
We offer our praises to you this day in the name of Jesus, the Christ.
Amen.
Debra Tyree and Jorge Lockward

29. Prayer of Dedication/Offering: About Togetherness
Our meeting is such a precious experience; we thank the Lord for every time we were together, before,
and for every time we can join hands again. We yearn to be present with the Holy Spirit and each
other. Beyond sitting together, even beyond pooling our resources in offering, we yearn to pool our
talents and energies, joining together in collective responsibility.
Make us, not just each of us, but all of us together, into the instrument that mends fractured
communities and removes lingering barriers. Some of us are missing, whether by choice or by
circumstances. Still others are yet to come into our lives. We pray you would increase our number to
bolster the work we do together in our community and the wider world. We ask these things in your
honorable name. Amen.

O God, our heavenly Parent, who didst manifest thy love by sending thine only begotten Son into the
world, that all might live through him; pour thy Spirit upon thy church, that it may fulfill his command to

them in all dangers and temptations; and hasten the time when the world shall be saved through
Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

*This is a blessing shared by the Global Ministries staff with Bishop Cynthia Harvey-Fierro as she left
Global Ministries to begin her ministry as bishop. It can be used as a blessing for members who are
moving to new communities, persons who are being sent out to be missionaries, persons who have
accepted the call to ministry and are moving to continue their education or to accept an appointment.
It can also be used as a sending of mission teams that have lived among you and are now returning
home or moving to a new place.

OTHER ACTS OF WORSHIP
37. Hymn: Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
(New Mission-Focused Text in Stanza Three)
1. Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love;
hearts unfold like flowers before thee, opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away.
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day!
2. All thy works with joy surround thee, earth and heaven reflect thy rays,
stars and angels sing around thee, center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain, call us to rejoice in thee.
3. We are sending and receiving, changing systems, giving birth;
Send us forth to kin-dom living; sowing justice ‘round the earth.
Co-creating ever with you, planting seeds of your shalom,
God of mission, dance among us, lead us to our common home.
4. Mortals, join the mighty chorus which the morning stars began;
love divine is reigning o’er us, binding all within its span.
Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife;
joyful music leads us sunward, in the triumph song of life.

39. Blessing for UMCOR Kits
Gracious God, you know the hurts and needs of all your children. We ask you now to bless these kits
as they go out to meet the needs of our sisters and brothers wherever there is chaos and hurt. May
they bring health to those who do not have supplies to keep themselves healthy. May they bring hope
to those whose lives have been upset by natural or human disaster. May they extend our compassion
and love to those who receive them.
We give thanks for the bounty, which we can share. We give thanks for the hands, which have
assembled these kits. We give thanks for the hearts, which have been opened to sharing and
compassion.
God of justice and hope, bless these kits on their journey and distribution, and bless those who receive
them. We lift this prayer in the name of the Jesus who taught us how to love each other. Amen.

This is a picture of a rainbow, a heart, and a child singing thanks to a world in which there is hope. Use this
as a worship visual to remind people to pray for the devastated areas in Japan and any time you need an
