Call to Worship
Leader: Eternal God, you never fail to give us each day all that we ever need, and even more.
People: Give us such joy in living and such peace in serving Christ,

People: and joyfully seek our risen Lord in everyone we meet. Amen.
Prayer of Confession
God of wonders, you work your mighty will in amazing ways and claim us to serve your purposes as you have revealed them in Jesus Christ. Take us and all we are and all we do; forgive what is imperfect and flawed and show us how to make amends, so that our lives may be better witnesses to the presence of our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Assurance of God's Faithfulness
Leader: Eternal God, remind us always that you have gone before us through every dark valley, and that Christ walks with us still.
People: Free us from fear and the pressure to conform to this world that we may be firm in our discipleship. Unison: Lead us to stand with all who suffer and to champion the cause of justice and truth in Christ’s name. Amen.
