God calls us to worship

from Psalm 146:5, 7-10

Liturgist: Praise the Lord! Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, who executes jusOce for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The Lord liSs up those who are bowed down; he watches over the sojourners and upholds the widow and the fatherless. All: The Lord will reign forever. Praise the Lord!

We pray for God to help us worship Pastor: All:

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! He died for us that we might live for him.

We greet one another with the peace of Christ SEATED

God calls us to confess our sin

from Mark 8:34; 1 John 1:6, 9

Liturgist: Jesus said, “If anyone would come aSer me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not pracOce the truth. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

page 2

We confess our sin All:

Our Creator and King, forgive us for misusing the power you give us by serving ourselves rather than people in need. Forgive us for cheering for strong leaders to protect us but walking away from sacrifice and suffering for the powerless and oppressed when we desire our safety and comfort in this life more than your eternal honor and purpose. Forgive us for not seeing, hearing, or caring for the vulnerable: the hungry, the prisoner, the widow, the orphan, the immigrant, and others hurt by the powerful. Lord, have mercy on us.



(silent prayers of confession)

Liturgist: Loving Lord, we are sorry for all the ways that we have misused our power to serve sinful desires rather than your mission of mercy for others. Help us abide in Christ and follow him in the way of the cross by laying down our lives to sacrifice and serve in the love and power of your Spirit so that our lives will reflect your character in word and deed.

STANDING (IF ABLE)

God declares our forgiveness Liturgist:

from 2 Timothy 1:9-10

God saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. For all who have turned from sin in sorrow and look to God for mercy, this is God’s giS. In Jesus Christ, God loves you, God forgives you, God accepts you, and God rejoices over you as beloved daughters and sons.

All:

Hallelujah, Amen!

We pray for the church and the world Liturgist:

(prayers for the church and the world)

All:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptaIon, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. page 5

God feeds us at his table Central Presbyterian welcomes all ChrisOans who acOvely trust in Jesus Christ for salvaOon, who are willing to forsake their sin, and who are members of congregaOons that proclaim the gospel to receive Holy Communion with us. If you are not ready to receive communion, you may simply pass the elements by. We also urge you to meditate on one of the prayers below. Bread: The bread is gluten-free. Ea)ng and drinking: Please eat and drink as you receive the bread and the cup when you are ready. We will not hold the elements and wait to eat unOl all have been served. Prayer for those searching: Lord Jesus, you claim to be the way, the truth, and the life. Help me to be undaunted by the cost of following you as I consider the reasons for doing so. If what you claim is true, please guide me, teach me, and open me to the reality of who you are. Give me an understanding of you that is coherent and convincing and that leads to the life you promise. Amen. Prayer of new belief: Lord Jesus, I admit that I am weaker and more sinful than I ever dared believe, but through you I am more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope. I thank you for paying my debt on the cross, taking what I deserved in order to offer me complete forgiveness. Knowing that you have been raised from the dead, I turn from my sins and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Amen.
