GREETING: Pastor Schuyler Rhodes
CALL TO WORSHIP: Elizabeth Truesdell
We travel together as a people of hope. We move as one through the landscape of life and we know that this journey, this path is our home. Come, let us journey together into this Lenten season. Come, let us open our hearts in worship together. AMEN.
OPENING HYMN: “Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days” (UMH 269) Played by Marilyn Lee
1 Lord, who throughout these forty days
For us did fast and pray,
Teach us to overcome our sins,
And close by You to stay.
2 As You with Satan did contend
And did the vict'ry win,
O give us strength in You to fight,
In You to conquer sin.
CALL TO CONFESSION: Rob Bickmore
PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Elizabeth Truesdell
Like Jesus before us, you call us into the desert, Lord, where we come face to face with our own brokenness. We know that, like Jesus, we are often tempted by the world. The scent of power and the lure of judgment and anger are ever before us. We confess that there are moments when we are overcome by temptation; moments when we succumb to anger and cynicism; days when we judge ourselves to be better than others. We confess that we have left undone things that we know we should do, and have done things that we know we should not have done. Forgive us, we pray. Have mercy on us and pour your spirit anew on our whole church so that we may move through this season to the cross and beyond, in Jesus’ name, AMEN.

CLOSING HYMN: “Shall We Gather at the River” (UMH 723) Played by Marilyn Lee
1 Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
Refrain:
Yes, we'll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
2 On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day. [Refrain]
