The Worship of God

◊ ◊ ◊

Gathering

The ♦ indicates that those who are able are invited to stand. Boldface words are spoken by all. Greetings and tidings of the gathering Prelude Lord, I Want to Be a Christian

Chancel Bells (The prelude marks the start of worship. Please be considerate of those who seek to use this time for prayer and reflection through the gift of music.)

During our silence while listening to the Prelude God our creator, the resurrection of your Son offers life to all the peoples of earth. By your Holy Spirit, kindle in us the fire of your love, empowering our lives for service and our tongues for praise, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Call to Worship

Hear, people of God! God is speaking through wind and voices calling us to follow and serve. See, people of God! God is moving through the church and the world, showing us how to love and lead. Believe, people of God! God is working through all creation, drawing us into the warmth of the spirit. Worship, people of God! Let us worship God together.

Opening Prayer

Holy God, who comes to us in breath, visits us from the throne of heaven, and sets us aflame with amazement and joy, you open our paths to new visions and guide our feet deeper in wisdom. Give us faith to trust your presence, through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

♦ Hymn On Pentecost They Gathered 128 Call to Confession

Prayer of Confession (unison)

You cry out for us to open our hearts,but we keep them shielded from the goodness of your spirit.You call for us to open our minds,but we would rather confine them to what we already know.You long for us to open our ears,but we shy away from the language of your grace.Forgive us, God of mercy.Heal us, embrace us, and wash us in your love.Breathe your spirit on us once more, and move us to respond with lives of faithfulness. (A time for personal confession)

Assurance of pardon

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. By the power in whom we live and move and have our being, I pronounce to you the complete forgiveness of all your sins, through the holy Trinity, one God, whose mercy is everlasting. Thanks be to God.

♦ Gloria Patri hymnal #579 Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be— World without end! Amen, amen.

The Lord’s Prayer 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

glory forever. Amen.
