God calls us to worship

from Psalm 50:15; 34:3, 8, 10

Liturgist: The sovereign Lord says, “Call upon me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” So come, magnify the Lord with me, All: and let us exalt his name together! Liturgist: Blessed is the one who takes refuge in him, All: for those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

We praise God Psalm 100 (All People That on Earth Do Dwell) Hymnal #20, with “Amen”

Text: William Kethe 1561 Tune: Louis Bourgeois 1551

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 John 10:14-15; Matthew 11:28-30

Liturgist: Jesus said, “I am the Good Shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me, and I lay down my life for the sheep. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

page 2

We confess our sin Liturgist: God of all joy, you endured the path of suffering in unwavering obedience for the joy of our salvaYon. You offer us unconquered joy and strength in the midst of grief and trial. All: But we grow weary from running the race, and so we stop looking to Jesus for strength to endure. We lose sight of your deep joy while we endure pain and sadness, and so we find it easier to be cynical. We live without prayer in unceasing busyness, and we find that path leads only to anxious fear. We live without lament, and so we miss the grace of hope you give in pouring out our pain to you. We worry that trials are punishment from you, or doubt that you will protect and sustain us, and so we lose touch with your resurrecEon life in us, giving us strength to endure today and bright hope in the weight of glory to come. Lord, have mercy on us. (silent prayers of confession) Liturgist:

Lead our faltering hearts back to you and restore to us the hope of your salvaYon. In the midst of our suffering, show your surpassing power in us and through us by your Holy Spirit, so that having your all-sufficiency in all things at all Ymes, we may abound in hope and unconquered joy as we await the day when you restore all things.

STANDING (IF ABLE)

God declares our forgiveness Liturgist:

from Hebrews 5:8-9; 12:2

Although Jesus was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvaYon. Look to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. For all who have turned from sin in sorrow and look to God for mercy, this is God’s gi`. 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!

(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 temptaEon, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
