Theme: Seek Justice, Defend The Cause
Call To Worship
One: We call the hour of prayer sweet in our songs,
All: but our prayer is often a call for comfort.
Right Side: If you choose to comfort us in our prayers this morning,
Left Side: let it be the comfort that comes from knowing we are needed.
Upstairs: Let the prophet be heard in our midst.
Downstairs: Let the Word of God be heard personally.
All: Here in this place, let our prayers rise, let your challenge descend. Move in our midst, O Spirit of God.
Collect
Here we are, Lord, once more finding ourselves at the beginning of new life, new hope, new possibilities. Help us to shed the constraints of the past to take hold of the prophetic vision you have set before us. Amen.
Prayer Of Confession
Lord, these are our petitions this day. We have confessed our sins, shared our sorrows, and celebrated our joys. Hear both that which was spoken and this, which is silently lifted up to you. We praise you, O God, and thank you for the community of faith you have shared with us. Amen.
