Call to Worship

Who among you is seeking the wisdom of God?

We long to hear God’s Word spoken to our hearts.

Who among you is seeking God’s bright and holy truth?

We long to learn the ways of wisdom and righteousness.

Who among you is seeking a Spirit-filled life?

We long to live lives of holiness and light.

God grants God’s wisdom generously to all who ask.

Come near, people of God!

Let us worship in wisdom and truth. 

Prayer of Confession 🙏

We come seeking truth.

           But our minds are clouded from the truths of this world.

We come seeking wisdom.         

           But our thoughts are concerned with achieving personal success.

We come seeking hope

           But the world around us fills us with fear and dread.

Clear our minds, dear Lord.

Open our hearts, dear Lord.

Remind us who we are and whose we are.

Lord, have mercy
