STILL SMALL VOICE BY SARAH-REBECCA
TO HEAR THE WORD AND REFLECT
THE CHURCH GATHERS Pre-Service Music Allegretto grazioso from 4 Lieder for Piano Hensel Call to Worship adapted by Rev. Terri Peterson Be still, for the presence of the Lord, the Holy One, is here. We come together, finding that this is holy ground. Be still, for the glory of the Lord is shining all around. We stand on this holy ground, renewed by awe. Be still, for the power of the Lord is moving in this place. We stand on this holy ground, waiting, listening, watching, hoping. Be still and know that God is here. Come, let us worship. Hymn
For the Beauty of the Earth (v. 1–4)
UMH #92
Prayer of Confession adapted by Rev. Lucas Levy Kepler Holy and Beloved God, though the world calls us in a chaotic mess of voices, your voice stands apart. Yours is the soft, still voice that speaks to our very heart of hearts. If we would pay attention to your voice, we would hear your love and concern for us— and for those whose voice is getting lost in the chaos. Help us to hear you, and through you, to hear the voices of the oppressed, the lost, the triggered, and the frightened. May your voice bring justice and mercy to us and to all the world. silence for prayer Words of Assurance My friends, God hears your voice—whether you shout from the top of your lungs or whisper softly below your breath. And God has already forgiven you for not listening— and is calling you to live into this Good News of forgiveness through the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus Christ we are forgiven! In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! Thanks be to God! Alleluia! Amen.
