PRELUDE/BELL 

WELCOME/ANNOUNCEMENTS: 

CALL TO WORSHIP 

Come. Wrestle with God, who receives us and welcomes us just as we are. 

Come, let us worship! 

Come. Look around with questions, look around with wonder, turning your head in every direction you can find. 

Come, let us worship! 

Come. God calls us into renewed relationships with one another. 

Come, let us worship! 

Come. God invites us into new beginnings. 

Come, let us worship! 


GATHERING SONG:  Will You Let Me Be Your Servant (#659) vs 1-3 

PRAYER OF THE DAY 

Let us pray. A brief silence is kept before the prayer. 

O God, you invite us to be part of your new creation, over and over again. And yet, we doubt our own faith, our own abilities, our own witness. Give us clear minds, steady hands, strong stomachs, that we might stand tall in the face of fear, that we might recognize your call to disobedience in the face of evil. Amen 

 

CONFESSION & FORGIVENESS 

Gathered into one by God’s Spirit, we are bold to confess our sins, our shortcomings, our failures, right here in the open, in the presence of God and of one another.  

(silence for reflection)  

God of grace,  

We confess that we have failed you, failed ourselves, failed one another. We assume the worst about those around us, rather than giving anyone the benefit of the doubt. We do the same to ourselves, and sometimes, even, we do the same to you. We are stubborn and determined to hold a grudge. We fail to exercise our imaginations, fail to recognize your works waiting to be born, if only we would step up to help, or sometimes, if only we would move out of the way. 

Forgive us, O God, and show us another way forward. Amen. 

Hear the good news of the risen Christ: 

God is making all things new! 

Your sins are forgiven. 

God’s invitation is to another way of living. 

Thanks be to God! 

 

CHILDREN’S MOMENT 

HYMN OF THE DAY: God of Mercy, God of Light #714 vs 1-4 

SCRIPTURE: Exodus 1:15-22 

SERMON: Pastor Katie 

OFFERING SONG: For the Fruit of All Creation (#679) 

OFFERING PRAYER: 

God of abundance beyond measure, It feels like privilege to offer back to you even a portion of the blessings you have poured out upon us. Keep us ever-mindful of what we call our own, ever-seeking new ways to come alongside you in the creation of abundance for the world. Amen. 

 

BLESSING 

May you rest in the knowledge that God has got you in His strong and steady hands.  May you delight in the grace and forgiveness of Jesus, inviting us again and again to repentance and repair. May you recognize new birth all around, the spirit of God made manifest in abundant 

imagination. Amen. 

SENDING HYMN: Will You Let Me Be Your Servant (#659) vs 4-5

Go now in peace, Love your God, Serve your neighbor. Thanks be to God!
