Call to Worship
From the noise and demands of the world, we come to be made alive in God, to be rooted and built up in Christ, to be nourished and held together in the Spirit, united in Christ’s body, the Church, abounding in gratitude and love.

Prayer of Confession
How easily we can learn of God's love how hard it is to live it! The world distracts us with its easy choices, while we know how intentional we must be to love one another and answer God's call. Join me as we open our hearts to God, saying, Because you dwell in our hearts, Eternal God, you know how the anger, the pain, the bitterness of our lives try to crowd you out. The noise of the world deafens us to your visions and call. Our constant motion keep us from being aware of your good news dwelling in us. Our uncertainties make us doubt that we are bearers of that good news to a hurting world. You promise a new heaven and a new earth, so create new spirits and lives within us, O God, your heart can still heal our wounds. Your Spirit, living deep within our souls, can teach us faithful ways. Your Word, Jesus Christ our Lord, whispers the good news of your mercy, your hope, your love.
Words of Assurance
The love God pours out is not some idle gossip, but good news for us. It fills us with forgiveness, equips us for service, and sends us forth to love others as God loves us. In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God! Alleluia! Amen.

Prayers of the People The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come; your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
