Call to Worship

From the shores of our lives,
Jesus calls us into the celebration of worship.
Let us worship our God.
From the edge of our worries and concerns,
Jesus calls us into hope.
Let us claim the hope in Christ Jesus.

From the shallow places in our hearts,
Jesus calls us into the depths of his love.
Let us celebrate the gift of his love.

From the breaking waves of sadness in our lives,
Jesus calls us into joy.
Let us renew our spirits in his joy.

From the rising tides of our conflicts,
Jesus calls us onto the shores of peace.
Let us rest in his peace.

Let us celebrate the love of God
and receive the blessings of Christ.
Let us worship God!
Amen!

Prayer of Confession
We come before you, God, in search of courage.
We can grow suspicious of our own movements and actions. We notice ways we avoid confrontation and speak differently before those we fear or do not understand. Remove from our senses, our minds, and our hearts, the things that keep us from loving, from trusting and from getting to know those who we judge as different. Re-create us, O God, and fashion us to be free, in all times and places, to live as you want us to live. Amen.

Words of Affirmation
We receive the gracious love of God.
We are made whole in God’s presence.
We welcome all into God’s community of love.
Amen.

Readings

Hutłilala's! Listen deeply as scripture is read and the word proclaimed.

Acts of the Apostles: Acts 9: 1-6

Psalm 30 VU 757

Refrain: Though tears flow for a night, the morning brings new joy.
I will extol you, O God, for you have lifted me up;
you have not let my enemies triumph over me.
O God, my God, I cried to you for help, and you restored my health.
You brought me back from the dead, you saved my life as I was going down to the Grave.
Let all your servants sing praises to you and give thanks to your holy name.
Your anger is but for a moment, but your kindness is life eternal.
R: Though tears flow for a night, the morning brings new joy.

In my prosperity I said,
“I shall never be shaken; your favour, O God, has made me as firm as any strong mountain.”
You turned your face away from me, and I was greatly dismayed. I called to you; I made my appeal:
“What profit is there in my death, in my going down to the Grave?
Will the dust give you praise? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
Hear, O God, and be gracious to me; O God, be my helper.”
R: Though tears flow for a night, the morning brings new joy.

You turned my mourning into dancing;
you stripped off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
So that my heart will sing your praise without ceasing.
O God, my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
R: Though tears flow for a night, the morning brings new joy.
