    Welcome

    *Call to Worship
    Leader: Lenten travelers, why are you here?
    People: We gather to do the work of worship.
    Leader: Lenten travelers, what happens when we gather to worship?
    People: We listen and proclaim. We sing and pray. We repent and encourage.
    Leader: Lenten travelers, how do we do the work of worship?
    People: We bring all that we are to be present to God and one another.
    Leader: Lenten travelers, what work does God do in worship?
    People: God raises us up so that we can delight in life together with God and one another.
    Leader: Lenten travelers, come, let us worship God together!
    People: Come, let us worship God together! Amen.

    *Opening Hymn "Blessed Assurance" #369

    *Prayer of Confession (inspired by Exodus 20, Psalm 19, John 2: 13-22)
    Leader: Come let us turn to our God,
    who is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
    Let us pray.
    People: With hearts of sorrow,
    we come before you, O God,
    to confess what you already know—
    we have failed to keep your laws.
    Again and again,
    we have followed our own selfish will,
    rather than your holy and life-giving will
    for our lives.
    We have twisted your decrees and institutions
    to suit our preconceptions and interests
    rather than your own.
    Forgive us, O God,
    and cleanse us from hidden faults,
    that the words of our mouths,
    and the meditations of all our hearts,
    may be acceptable to you,
    our Rock and our Redeemer.

    Words of Assurance (inspired by Exodus 20: 1-17)
    Leader: God shows steadfast love
    and blesses to the thousandth generation
    those who follow God’s ways.
    In love, God sent Jesus
    to bless and redeem God’s people.
    God forgives us our sins
    and restores us to new life.
    Let us rejoice in God’s mercy.
    All: Amen!
