CALL TO WORSHIP
God of infinite goodness, throughout the ages you have persevered in claiming and reclaiming your people.
All: Renew for us your call to repentance, surround us with witnesses to aid us in our journey, and grant us the time to fashion our lives anew,
God of the living, through baptism we pass from the shadow of death to the light of the resurrection.
All: Remain with us and give us hope that, rejoicing in the gift of the Spirit who gives life to our mortal flesh, we may be clothed with the garment of immortality, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
READING: Jeremiah 17:5-10 & Romans 1:18-23
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
Faithful God of love, you blessed us with your servant Son so that we might know how to serve your people with justice and with mercy.
All: We gather the needs of ourselves and others, and offer them to you in faith and love, seeking to be strengthened to meet them.
Shape us and transform us by your grace, that we may grow in wisdom and in confidence, never faltering until we have done all that you desire to bring your realm of shalom to fulfillment. Help us to follow the good path set out for us by your Son, Who taught us to pray.…
LORD’S PRAYER
