Jesus Creed 

Hear, O Israel,
the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

Love the Lord your God
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
with all your mind,
and with all your strength.

The second is this:
Love your neighbor as yourself.
There is no commandment
greater than these.
Amen.

Prayer of Confession

God of rushing wind and dancing flames,
we confess that we have too often denied
the urgings of the Spirit
and turned away from or rejected
those who are different.

You seek to enlarge our understanding
and bridge our divides
through sacrificial love and mutuality,
but we stubbornly cling to what is
comfortable and known. 

We have hoarded our resources out of fear
rather than sharing with all as any have need.
Forgive our lack of trust in You.
Help us no longer to be captive to fear
but, rather, messengers of Your saving love.

— Moment of silent prayer & confession — 

Come, Holy Spirit!
Rain upon our dry and dusty lives.
Wash away our sin
and heal our wounded spirits.
Kindle within us the fire of Your love
to burn away our apathy.
Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

 

Assurance of Forgiveness 

 

Prayers of the People

Holy Spirit, Creator,
in the beginning You moved over the waters.
From Your breath all creation drew life.
Without You, life turns to dust.
Come, Holy Spirit!

Holy Spirit, Counselor,
by Your inspiration, the prophets spoke
and acted in faith.
Holy Spirit, Power,
You came as fire to Jesus’ disciples,
giving them voice and witness.

Holy Spirit, Giver of life,
guide and make holy the Church You create,
empower us with Your gifts,
wisdom and understanding,
counsel and strength,
love and compassion. 

Maker of all things,
we pray for our nation and our world,
broken by deep-seated racism, hatred, and violence,
bearing the loss and uncertainty of pandemic.
Renew our world, in this day,
with Your justice, mercy, and grace.

— Moment of silent prayer & intercession — 

Let Your Spirit of truth abide with us
so that we may live in hope,
testifying to the Good News:
fullness of life and joy for all.

Set aflame Your Church
with the fire of Your Spirit.
Unite us to stand in the world
as a sign of Your love,
through Jesus Christ our Savior
and in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
