CALL TO WORSHIP
Read Psalm 118. 1-2, 14-24. This is the word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
COMMUNITY CONFESSION& LENTEN CANDLE READING
*All candles are lit today!
Leader: God is in the business of resurrection – making life from what was left for dead. But we’re easily overcome by the pain and death around us. Let us cry out to God.
ALL:God of new life, our vision for your world is too small. In the face of hurt, we get cynical. In the face of injustice, we become overwhelmed. In the face of uncertainty, we grasp for control. Give us an imagination inspired by resurrection, so that we may accept your invitation and join you in bringing about new life.
Leader: Friends, God is never done resurrecting our lives, our communities, and all of creation. We know this because Christ is risen!
ALL: He is risen, indeed! Thanks be to God! We will pursue the life God so deeply desires us to live.
SCRIPTURE READING
LORD’S TABLE LITURGY
Leader: In the wake of the cross and resurrection, we come around the Lord’s table, speaking these words to one another:
ALL: Come, if your faith is blossoming and full, and come, if it is but a tiny seed planted in your heart; come, if you always show up for this Meal, and come, if this is the your very first taste; come, if you have always walked with Christ, and come, if you have stumbled along the way. But come - for our God awaits to serve you with joy, with affirmation, with hope, with peace.
Leader: For all who seek to experience new life in Christ - eat and drink – the body of Christ broken for you and the cup of the new covenant shed for you.
