READING Exodus 20:1-17

CALL TO WORSHIP

God of the covenant, in the glory of the cross your Son embraced the power of death and broke its hold over your people.

All: In this time of repentance, draw all people to yourself, that we who confess Jesus as Lord may put aside the deeds of death and accept the life of your kingdom. Amen.

READING  1 Corinthians 1:18-25

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE

All: 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. 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. As Jesus taught us…

LORD’S PRAYER

Like an eagle lifting up her weary children, God will carry you. Like a mother hen gathering her brood, Jesus Christ will shelter you. “Like the murmur of the dove's song,” the Holy Spirit will dwell with you. Amen.
