Lay Speaker - Jim Perkins
Words of Welcome: That God has a heart for those who are lost is undeniable. The question is whether we do. Yes, we can focus on how we are lost like the prodigal. But we should also focus on how we go about doing the welcoming. Whom do we invite. Are we, who have been gathered up, ready to gather those who are still out from under the loving shelter of God’s winged grace? Come, let us worship God!
*Call to Worship:
L: Let this be the welcoming place.
P: Let it be built by love.
L: For it is a love that has been waiting,
P: hoping that each child will return home.
Prayer of Confession: O Gracious God, who knows the deepest places of our hearts, forgive us when we forget we are fearfully and wonderfully made, when we pretend you are not at the end of all of our searching, when we give ourselves over to the “whatever” of our culture. Remind us that your knowledge of us is wondrous and not punitive, and that we are defenseless against your love. Continue to seek us out even as we seek your face. Amen.
