People: And now offers to us all.

Leader: We are Jesus' disciples, longing to be faithful, even as the night grows dark.

All:

We are Jesus' disciples gathered here this night to worship God.

HYMN

Lord, We Have Come at Your Own Invitation

JUDAS THE BETRAYER

PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Inspired by John 13) Loving Christ, on that night long ago, you knew that your hour had come and what lay ahead of you. Your disciples loved and followed you, but they had also failed you and would fail you again that night. One would even betray you. Yet you washed their feet, as a servant would, even those of your betrayer. We also love and follow, yet fail you. We also fall short in comprehending the love you show us, the love that is our example, the love that tells us to do as you have done for us. Please forgive us. Make us more like you, Master Jesus, as servants of all. May all see how we long to be your faithful disciples. May all see how we love each other, just as you have loved us. In your holy name we pray. Amen.

HYMN

O Lord, Hear My Prayer Repeat as directed

JESUS and the SLEEPING DISCIPLES A TIME OF PRAYER THE LORD’S PRAYER Our Father, who 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. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
