Ordinary 32A

POP based on Psalm 70

By Leave a Comment

O God, deliver your people;
O Lord, act quickly to save.
We pray for all who are in danger; Lord, help us oppose the forces of death in the world.
We pray for all who have fallen victim to accidents and circumstances beyond their control.
Prevent anyone from taking advantage of others,
and restore fairness in the world.

We seek you on behalf of all those we have lifted up today…
Let these, and all who are on our hearts,
rejoice and be glad in you, for you are great!

We come before you humbly;
hear our prayer, O Lord, our helper and savior.
We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

POP: Be Faithful

By Leave a Comment

Hear, O Lord, the prayers of your people;
incline your ears to the words of our mouth.
We call out to you on account of your faithfulness,
for you are the Ancient of Days, and your word never fails.
Keep faith with those in need today,
as you have forever before,
so we might sing your praises for generations to come.
Be faithful to the young, who are just learning the ways of the world.
Be faithful to those who are older,
and especially to those who struggle with disease of body or mind.
Be faithful to those who are poor, injured, grieving, or under threat;
that your wholeness, your peace, and your joy may be restored.
We put our trust in you,
remembering your gracious works
made real for us in Jesus Christ, in whom we pray:

The Lord’s Prayer

dedication/stewardship commitment: Choose This Day

By Leave a Comment

Choose this day, whom you will serve
We serve the Lord with gladness!
God is good, all the time. God’s generosity extends far beyond our wildest imaginings.
We thank you God, with renewed gratitude.
With hands and feet, hearts and voices…
We serve the Lord with gladness!
We remember, O Lord, how you brought slaves out of Egypt, how you humbled yourself into human form, and how you bring this collection of people in to be your heavenly body on earth.
We pledge to live in witness to your legacy of freedom and in service to your holy name. 
Following the vision you have given us: of humble service and self-sacrifice, we boldly step out in faith.
We commit to you, O God, using our time, talents, and treasure, to serve with gladness. 
Amen.

confession: short-sighted

By Leave a Comment

Faithful God, we confess our own short-sightedness. Instead of placing all our trust in you and going forward in faith, we have given ourselves to other gods: proven results, quick fixes, and easy outs. Welcome us again into your loving arms. Be quick to forgive us and restore us to faith. Set our hope in you and remind us again of your mighty power and goodness. Help us to rededicate ourselves in your holy name. Amen.
