Luke 19:1-10 Elder Catherine Rodriguez Page 82 in the pew Bible
Prayer of Confession (In unison, followed by silent prayer) God of our neighborhood, So often when we pray we do so with only ourselves in mind. What’s in this for me? Today, we ask that You help us turn away from ourselves and move toward the world outside the doors of this church—outside the doors of our heart. May Your grace flow through us, may Your courage empower us, and may our lives be an open invitation to the overflowing bounty of Your Kingdom. In Your mercy we pray. (silent prayer) Amen.
