OPENING
PRAYER
God
of forgiveness, we gather together to worship,
seeking
to be reminded of the gift and challenge of forgiveness
seeking
to be made ready to hear words of truth,
seeking
to be reconciled with friend, with enemy, with neighbour, with You.
God
of forgiveness, we gather to worship,
trusting
that as we celebrate Your presence in our lives we will be
transformed by Your life in our hearts
God
of forgiveness, we gather to worship,
praying
that at the end of this time together we can go back into the world
to share Your love, Your hope, Your promise. Amen.
COMMISSIONING
As
our time of worship draws to a close,
we
prepare to continue our ministry in the world.
As
people who believe in truth,
we
go out to tell and hear the hard truths of life.
As
people who have been forgiven,
we
go out to work at forgiving those with whom we live and work.
As
people who believe in healing,
We
go out to seek reconciliation that heals broken relationships.
As
people who trust that we are not alone,
We
go out trusting that God: Parent, Child and Spirit, is with us each
step of life's road.
Amen
