Call to Worship

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.


John 14:1-3

Confession and Pardon

-Invitation

-Unison Confession:


Let us confess our sin before God and one another. 


God of grace,

we confess that we have elevated

the things of this world above you.

We have made idols of possessions and people

and used your name for causes

that are not consistent with you and your purposes.

We have permitted our schedules to come first

and have not taken the time to worship you.

We have not always honored those who guided us in life.

We have participated in systems

that take life instead of give it.

We have been unfaithful in our covenant relationships.

We have yearned for, and sometimes taken, that which is not ours, and we have misrepresented others’ intentions.

Forgive us, O God,

for the many ways we fall short of your glory.

Help us to learn to live together according to your ways

through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.



-Silent prayer

-Assurance of Pardon:


Hear the good news!

 Who is in a position to condemn?

Only Christ,

and Christ died for us, Christ rose for us,

Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us.

Anyone who is in Christ

is a new creation.

The old life has gone;

a new life has begun.

 Know that you are forgiven,and be at peace.

Thanks be to God.


—based on Romans 8:34; 2 Corinthians 5:17

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
