OPENING SONG: “He Is Exalted” with “Thy Word”
WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS
OPENING PRAYER:
Lord, we come to you this morning with so many concerns and issues that demand our attention. Our lives are burdened; our spirits are tired. Guide our lives and our steps as we walk this Lenten journey, inward and outward. Help us to discern what you would have us do, that others may be healed. In Jesus’ name, we pray. AMEN.
PRELUDE & LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES: “Lamb of God”
*HYMN “I Am Thine, O Lord” #419
CALL TO WORSHIP:
L: We are on a journey of faith. Jesus is our leader and our guide.
P: We place our trust in him.
L: As the daylight hours grow longer, our journey takes on an urgency.
P: We must prepare our hearts for Jerusalem
L: Do not fear! God goes before us, into Jerusalem, into the world.
P: Amen!
HYMN “I Need Thee Every Hour” #397
PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
There is a certain winter in our spirits today, O Lord. We feel that the journey on which we have embarked will demand too much of us. There are so many other things in our lives which claim our spirits, our energy, our hopes and fears. It is easy to be like Jerusalem, turning our backs on those whom you send.
The world shouts its solutions to us and then deserts us when we are in need. Forgive us for the many times in which we have strayed from your pathway of life; when we have chosen not to hear the cries of those in need; when we have belittled the gifts and skills you have given us in order to avoid serving others. Heal us, O Lord. Place us back on your path to Jerusalem, to live, for we ask this in Jesus’ name. AMEN.
