Welcome

Wilborn
Call
to Worship The Choir
Prayer
of Invocation –
People and Dr. Wilborn Responsively
Let us worship the One who calls us.
Here we are, ready or not, called by
the One who lived and died and rose to live again among us.
Here we are, ready or not, bringing our everyday selves to
praise and to pray, to know the Holy One in the midst of our lives.
Let us worship the One who calls
us.
*Hymn
of Praise: “Revive Us
Again” No. 295
Call
to Confession – Dr.
Wilborn
God, you know everything about us. Every
word we speak, every thought we think, every deed we do – You know them all,
even before we do. So take a good
look at us now. Look deep into our
hearts and souls. Point out the
things that displease You, the thoughts and actions we need to change.
Show us how to live as You would want us to live.
Amen.
Prayer
of Confession – People
and Dr. Wilborn
How foolish we are to think we
can hide our failings from you, Seeing God.
We treat our bodies as trash cans for junk food, not as sanctuaries for
your Spirit. We get drunk on the
seductions of our society, while daintily sipping at your living water. We doze under the tree of temptation, hoping you won’t see
us and expect us to get up and follow Jesus.
Forgive us, our heart’s only
Hope. Your grace mends our brokenness, making us whole; your
compassion removes our sin, making us new; your voice speaks tenderly to us,
silencing our pride; your Love is made human in Jesus Christ, our Lord and
Savior, redeeming our lives.
Assurance
of Pardon –
People and Dr. Wilborn Responsively
In front of us, behind us, to our right, to our left:
look! God is there! In our
past, beside us today, waiting in the future:
look! God is there!
In the shadows, in
the light: look! God is there!
From the top of the mountains, to the
bottom of the seas; in the morning, in the evening, in every moment:
God is with us! Thanks be to God. Amen.
