CALL TO WORSHIP
(Psalm 30)
Leader: I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up, and did
not let my foes rejoice over me.
People: O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you have
healed me.
Leader: O LORD, you brought up my soul from Sheol, restored me
to life from among those gone down to the Pit.
People: Sing praises to the LORD, O you his faithful ones, and
give thanks to his holy name.
Leader: For his anger is but for a moment; his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night, but joys comes in the morning.
People: As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
Leader: By your favor, O LORD, you had established me as a strong
mountain; you hid your face; I was dismayed.
People: To you, O LORD, I cried, and to the LORD I made supplication:
Leader: "What profit I there is my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust
praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?
People: Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me! O LORD, be my helper!"
You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have taken
off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, so that my soul may
praise you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks
to you forever.
All: Let us worship our God.
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
(in unison)
God of compassion, have mercy upon us. You have given us your statutes,
but we follow our own desires. We know of your laws, yet we try to justify
our own way. You desire obedience, we practice rebellion. You offer us
blessing, we search for scapegoats. Make us mindful of how we disorder
your intentions. Set us right in accordance with your will. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS
Leader: The mercy of the Lord is everlasting to everlasting. I declare to you, in the
name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. May the God of mercy, who
forgives you all your sins, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the
power of the Holy Spirit give you eternal life.
People: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Let us forgive one another. Amen.
