Prelude

Lenten Greeting Rev. Dr. Meghan Gage-Finn
One: The Lord be with you. All: And also with you.
Call to Worship (from Micah 6)
One: What does the Holy One require of us?
All: To do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with our God.
One: Let us worship God.
Hymn No. 21 Many and Great, O God, Are Thy Works Dr. Amanda Weber, Rob Graham, cantors
Call to Confession and Prayer of Confession (Unison)
Gracious God, our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo. Forgive what our lips
tremble to name, what our hearts can no longer bear, and what has become for us a consuming fire of judg-
ment. Set us free from a past that we cannot change; open to us a future in which we can be changed; and
grant us grace to grow more and more in your likeness and image; through Jesus Christ, the light of the world.
Silent Prayers of Confession Worshippers seek and reflect on God’s forgiveness in their own lives.
Choral Prayer John 3:16 B.E. Boykin
Deb Carbaugh, Alyssa Impullitti, Samuel Green
Assurance of God’s Forgiveness
One: Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. The old life has gone; a new life has begun. Friends, hear
the good news:
All: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Thanks be to God. Amen.Listening for the Word A Time with Children Sonja Dziekciowski Prayer for Illumination Rob Lee Readings from Holy Scripture Psalm 18:1-6 Luke 5:12-16 One: This is the Word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God. Sermon Listening to Those Long Silenced Rev. Dr. Timothy Hart-Andersen Responding to the Word Hymn No. 796 We Come to You for Healing, Lord
Pastoral Prayer and The Lord’s Prayer Rev. Alanna Simone Tyler
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in
heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Passing of the Peace

invited to offer a verbal greeting, such as: “Peace be with you.”

All: And also with you.
