TIME OF CENTERING PRAYER
Leader: We believe God will save us in times of
trouble.
People: We believe. Help our unbelief.
Leader: We know
that God has saved us in the past, tending and helping us along
the
way.
People: We know what God has done
for us. Help us when we forget.

powerless to respond, believing and
knowing that God will save.
People: We believe and we know that God will answer
when we call.
Leader: God, open our hearts today to encounter
your love that acts with us and
through us to bring
flourishing to all of your creation.
All: We come today to enter the dance of
the Trinity, who is all-powerful to
save. AMEN.
**HYMN #710 (UMH).................................................................................... “FAITH
OF OUR FATHERS”
We long to live as God’s people, yet in the very depths of our lives, we know how we have
hurt those around us, through words and actions, as well as from indifference. But God hears
us when we call, and answers with the grace we need. Let us pray together, as we confess our
sins to our God…
Triune God, we confess that we don’t always like the way your power works. We blame
you for all that goes wrong in the world, and yet we forget that you empower us to resist
evil. We want you to help us in exactly the way we ask, and yet we forget that we are not
the authors of our own salvation. We say we desire for your kingdom to come, and yet,
we forget to listen to your voice calling us to work for the flourishing of our neighbors.
Forgive us, Holy Trinity, and free us to cooperate with you in the work of salvation for
ourselves, our community, and all of creation. AMEN.
SILENT PRAYERS OF CONFESSION
Leader: God’s love is not logical and
understandable. For God forgives those
we
never would and welcomes those
we would continue to ignore.
People: This is the One who has mercy on everyone,
pouring grace and joy into
everyone. Thanks be to God, we are forgiven! AMEN.

**RESPONSE #2119 (TFWS)................................................... “WHERE
THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS”
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is peace; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
love. There is comfort in life’s darkest hour; there is light and life, there is help and
power in the Spirit, in the Spirit of the Lord.

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
trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
AMEN.
I cast all my cares upon you, I lay all of my burdens down at your feet, and anytime that
I don't
know what to do, I will cast all my cares upon you.
