CALL
TO WORSHIP
When
the days drew near for him to be taken up Jesus set his face to go to
Jerusalem (Luke 9:51)
Thomas,
who was called the Twin, said to he fellow disciples “Let us also
go, that we may die with him.(John 11:16)
Throughout
this Lenten season we travel with Jesus to Jerusalem, daring to face
what lies ahead.
Everyone
who thirsts, come to the waters! Incline your ear and come, listen so
that you may live
We
seek God where They may be found, we call upon Them while They are
near
Come
to sing, to pray, to celebrate God’s presence! Let us worship
together...
OPENING
PRAYER
Gardening
God, you have planted us in this place and time.
Help
us to grow, to be fruitful, feed us with things that sustain and
satisfy, help us drink deep of the water of life.
In
this time together this morning,
open
our ears, our hearts, our souls to receive your life-giving word, dig
around us and feed our roots.
Then
lead us back out in joy, let us go forth with peace,
as
we join in the songs of praise of the world around us.
We pray in Jesus’ name as we remember words he once taught his
friends...
