Call to Worship π
Spirit of life and love,
we gather together in different ways this morning,
from computer screens,
from telephones,
from near and far;
we gather,
reaching out across the wires,
waving from a safe distance,
to come together in community.
From living room to front porch to car seat,
we gather as we are able,
ready to be of service to each other,
to the world,
ready to build the community of hope and of love,
as we face this bright morning.
We are apart,
but we are together,
offering our love,
our commitment,
our hope,
and our prayers,
in service to one another and this world.
Prayer of Confession π
We have strayed, O God,
from your will and your way.
Like the brothers of Joseph,
we have betrayed family and friends
for our own vainglory;
we have enslaved others
to suit our purposes;
we have lied
to cover our tracks;
we have forgotten our faith
when it is convenient;
we have failed you and each other
so many times.
Heal us, O God. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon Remembering Our Baptism π¦
Gloria Patri πΌ
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
World without end, Amen. Amen.
