Call to Worship

When our pockets are empty, God allows us to purchase what we need,

charging it to grace’s account.

God thinks differently than we do.

When our souls are parched, God hands us a glass of living water.

God’s ways are different from ours.

When we grow weary of searching. God takes our hand and leads us home.

God’s love is different from ours.

Call to Confession

Though we are gifted beyond measure, we grumble that we don't have enough.

Seeking to get our own way, we have missed the ways God holds out a hand of

reconciliation and wants to bring us along His way. In this season of reflection and

repentance, let us turn to the One who waits for us with hope.

Unison Prayer of Confession

We continue to be tempted, Faithful God. We are blessed with gifts to use for

others, but we want to keep them for ourselves. We easily notice the mistakes

of those around us, but do not want to look in the mirror at our lives. We turn

our desires into idols, so we do not have to recognize how they can damage us.

Forgive us, Steadfast God. Fill the emptiness of our spirits with the richness of

your grace; feed our selfish hunger with the bread of compassion for the world;

pour the living waters of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, into our hearts until

they overflow with love.

(silent prayers of confession)

Declaration of Forgiveness

God is faithful. God's love is an eternal bargain which will not be broken, God's grace

is the gift which will not be taken back.

Such abundant mercy, such extravagant grace!

Thanks be to God, we are forgiven. Amen.

*Hymn of Response No. 370 Just As I Am

*Passing of the Peace

THE WORD

Welcoming the Children

Blessing of Children tune - Hymn No. 535, Tallis Canon

Go with them, Lord, and guide their way, through this and every coming day,

That in Your spirit strong and true, their lives may be a gift to You.

Scripture Reading Luke 13:1-9 Pew Bible, NT, pg. 71
