CTW: God calls us to worship…

By Leave a Comment

One:    God calls us to worship, lifting our voices and our hearts in praise.

All:     God calls us to worship, lifting our hands and our resources to serve.

One:    God calls us to worship, when we are together and when we are alone.

All:     God calls us to worship, in the sanctuary and on the street corner.

One:    God calls us to worship, with our everyday choices and our Sunday best.

All:     God calls us to worship, in song and prayer and in doing justice and loving kindness.

One:    God calls us to worship.

confession: do not match

By Leave a Comment

God, you are creating a world where everyone can live an abundant life. We confess that we often work against your creative spirit, instead creating systems that privilege a few and leave behind the rest. We confess that we benefit from injustice, and we often do not want to give up our spot at the top. We confess that sometimes the words we say and sing in the sanctuary do not match our actions in other parts of the building, let alone other spaces in our lives. We confess that we prefer to offer you what is easy and hope that is good enough to get us through the week. Forgive our inconsistent faith, our hypocrisy, our hard-heartedness. Open us to your way, and give us courage to walk your path of healing, reconciliation, justice, and peace.

~silence~
All (sung): Come and fill our hearts with your peace (Taize)
