“I love the Lord because God hears my requests for mercy.” – Psalm 116:1 (CEB)
Prelude Music
Welcome & Announcements
*Call to Worship (Joanna Harader and posted on Spacious Faith)
Holy One, dwell within us. Whisper in our ears; Glimmer in our vision; Write upon our hearts. We wait with open ears, open eyes, open hearts. Amen
*Hymn: “In the Cross of Christ I Glory," #295
*Call to Confession: Beloved, God responds quickly to the choices we make. Our actions have consequences in our relationships with one another and God: Whether we want it to or not, our choices and deeds influence God’s responses and actions. Repent, turn away from evil, believe in the Good News, and do what is pleasing in the sight of the Lord.
Prayer of Confession: We thank You, Lord, for making us in Your divine image. We are also deeply grateful that You are like a potter, shaping and molding us like clay on a spinning wheel. Hear our confession of sin and wrongdoing. Transform us with Your grace. Like the psalmist who sought cleansing and pardon, we ask You to “create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.” Amen.
