Call to Worship

Leader: We gather today surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses — 
saints who have shown us what it means to love and serve through Christ.

  People:   We give thanks for their faith, their courage, and their example.

  Leader:    They shared the good news in their time and place,
and now the story of God’s grace rests in our hands.

  People:    We are called to carry that story forward, 
to share our faith with the world, and to nurture it in the hearts of the next generation.

  Leader:    As they once invited us, we now invite others. 
Come, taste and see that the Lord is good!

  People:   We worship the God of every generation, 
who was, and is, and is to come.

  Leader:    Let us worship the Lord with grateful hearts,
for the light of Christ shines in us and through us, forever and ever.

Congregational Prayer

Holy and Eternal God,
 we give You thanks for the saints who have gone before us — 
those who taught us to pray, 
who showed us how to serve, and who lived their faith with courage and grace. On this day, we remember their witness
 and we rejoice that Your Spirit is still at work among us.
 Kindle in us the same light that burned within them, 
that we too may share the good news of Jesus Christ in our homes, our community, and our world. Make us bold in love, steadfast in faith, and joyful in hope, 
that the generations to come may see Your goodness through us.
 In the name of Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.

Confession & Pardon

Merciful God, we confess that we have not loved you with our whole heart.  We have failed to be an obedient church.  We have not done your will, we have broken your law, we have rebelled against your love, we have not loved our neighbors, and we have not heard the cry of the needy. Forgive us, we pray. Free us for joyful obedience, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
