Preparing Your Spirit Dorothy
Opening Unison Prayer - (please stand) Merciful Savior, thank you that throughout the ages you have kept your promises to us, your people. Renew for us today your calling on each of our lives. Surround us with witnesses to aid in our Lenten journey. Grant us this time to release, renew and grow out faith this Lenten season. In Jesus' name, Alleluia, Amen!
Opening Praise: Page 454 Open My Eyes
Responsive Reading:
Leader: Children of God, what has God done for you?
People: God saves, provides, and holds us in God's steadfast love.
Leader: Consider and remember: in the joyful times and in the sorrowful times, what God has done for you?
People: God covers us and lifts us up, protecting and empowering us with steadfast love.
Leader: When you have been like a fig tree in Jesus' story that seems unable to produce and that everyone has given up on, what has God done for you?
People: God tends the soil and water the ground, nurturing us into life with steadfast life.
Leader: Children of God, come let us worship God who never gives up on us!
People: We come to worship and cling to God, for God's steadfast love never fails! To your glory, Amen!
