MIRIAM LEADING THE WOMEN ACROSS THE SEA/EXODUS

BY MARY THERESE STRECK, ARCWP

THE CHURCH GATHERS Pre-Service Music

Allegretto Semplice

TO HEAR THE WORD AND REFLECT aus der Ohe

Call to Worship adapted from Steve Garnaas-Holmes Glorious God, as David danced before you, so we come with joy and praise.

We worship you. We praise you. We open our hearts to you.

All Creation dances before you. The stars and planets circle in joy and wonder. The seas wave and clap their hands.

We worship you. We praise you. We open our hearts to you.

The trees sway to the music of your wind.

And our hearts sing your praise.

We worship you. We praise you. We open our hearts to you.

Alleluia! Glory be you to, now and forever.. Alleluia!

We worship you. We praise you. We open our hearts to you.

Prayer of Confession adapted from Steve Garnaas-Holmes God of grace, we confess we are in need of healing... we have broken branches, our roots are dry and thirsty ... {pause} Immerse us in your grace. Produce joy in us.

We are in need of forgiveness... we think we can produce our own fruit.

We think we can exist apart from you... {pause} Immerse us in your grace. Produce joy in us.

We are in need of trust... you delight in being our gardener.

Help us to trust you to that work in us.... {pause} Immerse us in your grace. Produce joy in us.

Heal our hearts, forgive our sin, and empower us to live the fullness of your love. silence for prayer Words of Assurance As we share our hearts with God and with one another, we are freed, released. May we clap our hands! May we sway to the music of your breath. May we delight in your delight of us!

Immerse us in your grace. Produce joy in us.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven!

Thanks be to God! Alleluia! Amen.
