There is much about ourselves we find unacceptable. As we come to this place, grant to us eyes to see through the lens of your surpassing love the new creations of your grace that we are. Amen. PRELUDE & LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES “O Sacred Head, Now Wounded“ HYMN: “Jesus is All the World to Me” - #469 CALL TO WORSHIP: Leader: Come, all who carry the weight of sin and guilt. People: Christ has taken up the sins of the world. Leader: Come, all who long for mercy and grace. People: God's love has nailed our debts to the cross. Leader: Come, all who seek a new beginning. People: By Christ's wounds, we are healed. All: Let us worship the God of mercy, love, and forgiveness! HYMN: “Isn't He” MINISTRY MOMENT – LILLIAN FAITH PRAYER OF CONFESSION Lord God, we bow our heads before you in humble confession of the wrongs we have done, as well as the acts of love and mercy we have not done. We have bent the truth to serve our own purposes. We have been slow to apologize and swift to condemn. We have refused to make allowances for others while demanding others make allowances for us. We have coveted things we do not need. We have spoken more than we have listened, getting carried away by our own self-importance. We have been slow to serve, but quick to demand service of others. We arrogantly imagine we can manage the lives of other people when we have not yet learned to manage our own with righteousness. For Jesus' sake, forgive us these sins, as well as those particular wrongs we name in silence. [pause for self-examination]. Leader: Beginning during this Lenten season, help us follow him in all our thoughts, words and deeds. Amen.
