Gathering

Call to Worship

And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:24-25)

Prayer of Invocation:

Gracious God,

out of your love and mercy

you breathed into dust the breath of life,

creating us to serve you and our neighbors.

Call forth our prayers and acts of tenderness

and strengthen us to face our mortality,

that we may reach with confidence for your mercy

in Jesus Christ, our Lord,

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and forever. Amen.

Greeting Time:

Bless each other with “the peace of Christ be with you” and/or offer an embrace or a kind word to your family members. If you are following along from home by yourself, greet someone over text or Facebook Messenger!

Prayer:

Go around and give your prayer requests, then take turns praying or designate a leader to pray. After offering supplication and intercession, (that is, prayers for others and prayers asking for things) pray Our Father & the Fruits of the Spirit together.

Our Father, which art in heaven,

Hallowed be Thy Name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts

As we forgive our debtors.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Holy Spirit, we pray your fruit would be in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

By our lives and through our prayers, may your kingdom come.
